    STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA v. RALPH EDWARD ELLERBE
    No. 7412SC827
    (Filed 4 December 1974)
    Appeal by defendant from Canaday, Judge, 15 July 1974 Session of Superior Court held in Cumberland County. Heard in the Court of Appeals on 21 November 1974.
    
      Defendant, Ralph Edward Ellerbe, was charged in a bill of indictment, proper in form, with armed robbery. Upon the defendant’s plea of not guilty, the State offered evidence tending to show the following:
    On 2 August 1971 defendant and an accomplice entered a small grocery store and defendant produced a firearm that looked like a shotgun from under his coat. Gwen Black, co-owner of the store, was working as cashier at the time. As defendant held the gun on Mrs. Black, his accomplice took $402.00 belonging to Black’s Supermarket from the cash drawer.
    Defendant did not testify but offered the testimony of Anthony Calloway, who was identified as the accomplice by Mrs. Black. Calloway testified that he participated in the robbery of Black’s Supermarket on 2 August 1971 but that the defendant did not participate in any way in this robbery.
    From a verdict of guilty as charged and the entry of judgment imposing a prison sentence of fifteen (15) to twenty (20) years, defendant appealed.

No error.
