Where a witness dies before cross-examination and the death is through no fault of the parties, the witness's prior testimony is admissible; the absence of cross-examination affects only the weight to be attached to that testimony, not its admissibility, and a trial judge must take that into account; applying that principle to the facts, the magistrate did not err and the convictions stand.
