Object

Though the credibility of P. Klingensmith is solely
for the jury to decide, yet the jury should not convict
on his uncorrobrated testimony; and such corroboration
should be in facts tending to establish the guilt of the
defendant: that when several persons are jointly indicted
and the accomplice is corroborated as to some of them,
although the jury may give credit to him as to those
to whom the corroboration applies, they ought to pay
no attention to the evidences of an accomplice as to
those against whom there is no corroboration. The rule
is the same when there are several accomplices. If
there is no other testimony connecting defendant with
the crime, than that of accomplices the jury ought
not to convict.
