of violence which occurred prior to the
issuance of the injunction alone is not
sufficient to support a claim of fear of vio-
lence as the basis for not crossing a picket
line after the issuance of the injunction.

t6] In the absence of proof to the con-
trary, we must indulge in the presumption
that a picket line is maintained and con-
ducted in an orderly manner and with no
intention to violate the law. Meyer v. In-
dustrial Commission of Missouri, 240 Mo.
App. 1022,223 S.W.2d 835, and cases there
cited.

In the instant case, both claimants did
not cross the picket line, except to vote,
when it was admittedly peaceful and their
jobs were open to them. They had made

their decision prior to the outbreak of vio-
lence. They did not return after the vio-
lence had subsided and a majority of their
own union members had returned to work.
They did not meet their burden of proof to
bring themselves within the "violence ex-
ception."

The trial court should have affirmed the

decision of the Board of Appeals of the

Department of Industrial Relations.

The Court of Appeals is no longer in

existence, and the personnel of that court
now constitutes,the Court of Criminal Ap
peals. The Court of Civil Appeals is now
the proper court to handle cases of this na-

ture. But the members of that court did
not participate in this case as it came trp

the appellate ladder.

Without establishing a precedent for or-
dinary cases, we are reversing the judg-

ment of the Court of Appeats and are re-

manding this cause to the Court of Civil
Appeals, with directions to that court to
direct the trial court to set aside its judg-

ments and to affirm the decisions of the

Board of Appeals of the Department of In-

---*dus-tflal Relations denying the claims of
each of the claimants.

2. Crlmlnal Law 6>1 151

Denial of continuance requested in
robbery trial because of absence of alibi
s'itness would not be disturbed on appeal

rvhere motion did not disclose whether
witness was available or within jurisdiction
and where witness' testimony would have
bcen cumulative.

3. Crlmlnal Law @627.6(l)

W}ere only item introduced at robbery
trial which came within scope of defense
pretrial motion to require the prosecution
to produce items for inspection ivas written
u'aiver of right to presence of counsel at
lineup signed by defendant, and rvhere
rlefendant testified at trial that he signed
thc s'aiver and where defendant's att()rney
lr:rrl anrple opportunity to examine uaiver
l,t.forc it was introduced in evidence, trial
t'orrrt's denial of motion to produce was
n()t CrrOneOUS.

4. Crlmlnal Law @541.414,

Iiinding that defendant who was given
rr;rrrrings of right to remain silent and
rrglrt to counsel prior to his signing waiver
,,f counscl at lineup had knowingly and

5. Constltutlonal Law @266

made soon after robbery and which he had
reviewed prior to triat, and where witness
testified that he could remember the facts
independent of the report, court's refusal
to permit defense counsel to examine the
report was not error.

Oliver J. Latour, Jr., Mobile, for appel_
tant.

MacDonald Gallion, Atty. Gen., and
Herbert H. Henry, Asst. Attl€err,-ffire
State.

ALMON, Judge.

Willie James Henry appeals from a judg-
ment of conviction of robbery. His sen-
tence was fixed at ten years in the peniten-
tiary.

On December 27,1967, between 6:00 and
7:00 o'clock P.M., two men wearing stock-
ing masks entered Bailey's Superette No.
2 in Toulminville. Major Bailey, the owner
of Bailey's Superette, heard someone
scream, Iooked up, and saw a man with a
stocking over his face pointing a pistol
at him. Although the gunman said nothing,
Bailey assumed that he was going to shoot,
so he did not look at the gunman and could
not later identify him. Bailey turned his
head, threw his hands up and fell to the
floor. The gunman then pointed at some
object in Bailey's pocket. Bailey then put
what money he had on the floor. The men
took the money, approximately $135.00, and
left. Others were present during the rob-
bery, including Oara Miller who worked
for Bailey.

At the beginning of the triat, appellant's
counsel moved for a continuance hcause
a defense alibi witness, Jennie Henry, was
not pr€sent in court. He asserted that if
present she would testify in substance that
she u'as with appellant the afternoon and
cvening of the robbery. The missing'-
rvitness is appellant's sistcr. Both appellant
rrrrrl his attorr)ey had no idea u'here she w.as

and could not assure the court that she was
in this State.

tl,2) The matter of continuance in a
criminal case is addressed to the sound
discretion of the trial judge and the exer-
cise of that discretion will not be disturbed
on appeal unless clearly abused. peaden

Moreover, the present motion did not dis_
close whether the witness was available

State, ZZ4 AIa. 6, l3g So. 291.

Also the witness's testimony would have
been cumulative since appellant,s mother
testified that appellant was with her during
the time the robbery was committed. Di_
aiae, supra.

t3] The trial court denied appelant,s
pre-trial motion to require the prosecution
to produce for appellant's inspection the
following:

was a written waiver signed by appel
which waived his right to p..r;;;;
counsel at a lineup conducted by
officers. Later in the trial, appellant
freely testified that he signed the wai'
Before the waiver was introduced in
dence, appellant,s attorney had ample
portunity to examine it.

_ 
Consequently, we are of the opiniai

that the triat court,s denial of ,f,. iotiii
to produce was not prejudicial to appellrl
and no error resutted. See Smith ,.'St g82 Ala. zff., ZtO So.2d g26; lrlcCanri

Sanders v. State, 2Zg A1a.453, 179 So,
35, where our Supreme Court has held il
denial of similar motions free from errorl

Two lineups were conducted in an effoil
to identify the robbers. Appettant *"r rO
present at the first lineup and witnel
Clara Miller pointed to one of the men u
resembling appellant but made no identifi.
cation. At the second lineup, she identi.
fied appellant as the robber carrying thcpistol. She had seen the app.Iani Ji, or
seven times before the robbery when shc
was working in Bailey,s Superette.

Before any in-court identification wrr
admitted, the court held a rather lengtrtry
hearing 

.out of the presence of tn. lury.At that hearing the prosecution introductd
the following waiver:

" * * r But in declaring the rule of
Wade and, Gilbert to be applicabte onty
to lineups conducted after those cases
were decided, we recognized that, judged
by the 'totality of the circumstances,, Ihe
conduct of identification procedures may
be 'so unnecessarily suggestive and con-
ducive to irreparabternisfakeir-iileiitifi:
cation' as to be a denial of due process
of law. 388 U.S., at 302, g7 S.Ct., at
1972. See Simmons v. United States,

Witness Identification in Criminal Cases;
J. Frank & B. Frank, Not Guilty; 3 J.
Wigmore, Evidence g 7g6a (3d ed. l9a0i;
4 id., $ 1130.

"Judged by that standard, this case
presents a compelling example of un_
fair lineup procedures. In the first line_
up arranged by the police, petitioner stood
out from the other two men by the con_
trast of his height and by the fact that
he was wearing a leather jacket similar
to that worn by the robber. See United
States v. Wade, supra, 3gg U.S. at 233,
87 S.Ct. at 1935. When this did not lead
to positive identification, the police per_
mitted a one-to-one confrontation be_
tween petitioner and the witness. This
Court pointed out in Stoaall [v. Denno]
that '[t]he practice of showing suspects
singly to persons for the purpose of
identification, and not as part of a line-
up, has been widety condemned., 3gg
U.S. [293] at 302, 8Z S.Ct. [1962] at
1972 Ll9 L.Ed.2d ll99l. Even after this
the witness' identification of petitioner
was tentative. So some days later anoth-
er lineup was arranged. petitioner was
the only person in this lineup who had
also participated in rhe first lineup, See
\\iall, supra, at 61. This finally pro-
duced a <lefirritc irierrtification.

Where court ruled that showing as to
testimony of absent witness was insuffi-
cient because attorn€y had not talked to
such witness, and where witness had been
subpoenaed, it was then incumbent upon
court to grant defendant a continuance un-
til such time as witness could be brought
in, and since use of showing is only way
to obviate denial of compulsory process for
witnesses under constitutional provision,
denial of continuance was error. Const,
