Prior to taking the stand in his own behalf, the appellant testified in the absence of the jury for the purpose of making his bill. He stated that he had been convicted in 1940 at the age of 19 for the offense of burglary, had served his sentence, and was released in June of 1943; he served in the Army until 1946, and since his discharge had been continuously and gainfully employed until December 17, 1954, the day he was arrested. He testified that he had been in no other trouble since his 1940 conviction and asked that the state not be permitted to prove the 1940 conviction because the same was too remote, which motion was by the court refused.
