Description
Defendant was on February 26, 1964 found guilty of the crime of dynamiting a building with felonious intent to defraud an insurance company. § 560.400. (All statutory references are to RSMo 1959, V.A.M.S.) It was stipulated at the trial (and outside the hearing of the jury) that defendant had previous convictions within the purview of the Habitual Criminal Act, § 556.280, which the court specifically so found, and defendant was tried accordingly. After the jury made its finding of guilt, the court deferred the assessment of punishment until March 9, 1964, at which time such assessment was made at 18 years in the Department of Corrections. Defendants motion for new trial was filed, heard and overruled on March 16, 1964, and defendant was then sentenced in accordance with the previous assessment of punishment, credit being given for time previously spent in jail. Defendant had counsel at the trial throughout which he was present. Being found indigent, counsel was appointed for defendant on this appeal, but no brief has been filed. In such case we consider the matters properly raised in defendants motion for new trial and portions of the transcript of the record set forth in Supreme Court Rules 28.02 and 28.08, V.A.M.R.; State v. Jackson, Mo., 369 S.W.2d 199, 200[1].
