Description
Defendant presented the defense of alibi. The evidence shows that after 12:45 A.M. on May 19, 1951 the Headquarters Bar & Cafe in Rangely, Colorado, was burglarized and the safe and cash register located therein removed. The safe and cash register were found later the same day in a dumpyard where they had been thrown over a hill. The cash register had been broken into and the safe bore evidence of efforts to open it. In the same vicinity a large hammer and a cold chisel were found by the officers. At the scene of the crime, marks on the floor of the cafe indicated the safe had been rolled on its wheels to the door. The evidence also showed that in the process of moving the safe a gallon jug of deodorizer had been broken and the contents spilled on the floor of the premises. When defendant was apprehended, his shoes and the lower part of his trousers were found to have the odor of this deodorizer, as did also the brake and clutch pedals of the pickup truck owned by the defendant, and admittedly driven by him after midnight on May 18, 1951. Tire marks at the scene of the crime and near the dump yard heretofore mentioned, coincided with those made by defendants truck. When the arresting officer went to defendants home on the morning of May 19, 1951 defendant admitted he had that morning changed tires on his truck. Marks on the floor of defendants pickup truck indicated that some heavy object had recently been carried on the truck.
