The offense is failure to stop and render aid, a felony; the punishment, five years.
The state offered five witnesses who were present when an automobile struck and injured Fannie Lucille Daggs, a colored cook and maid employed in a private home in River Oaks.
The injured party, who received a broken leg, testified that the car failed to stop at a stop sign, struck her and knocked her down and ran over her leg, then backed off and came again, a man’s voice saying “I’m going to kill you, you s.o.b.;” that she grabbed the bumper and was dragged; that she turned loose when the car stopped and the driver backed again and drove away.
The injured party’s daughter Jacquelyn, eleven years old at the time her mother was injured and twelve at the time of the trial, identified the automobile which struck her mother as that shown to belong to appellant, and positively identified appellant as the driver of the hit and run car.
Mary Jo Montague, nineteen-year old school girl who resided in River Oaks, saw the accident as she was stopped at the intersection. She gave chase in an attempt to obtain the license number of the automobile. She was shown a picture of appellant’s car and asked if it was the hit and run car, and she said “I would say it was.” She based her identification upon the fact that it was a Buick, green bottom and white top with Venetian *543blinds at the back and a “funny colored blue light over the license plate that kept the number from being plainly visible.
Mr. Zimmerman was an eye witness, the hit and run car having passed him at a rapid rate just before it struck the injured party. He heard the driver say “kill you,” but did not understand anything else he said. He called to the driver to stop, saying “Stop you murderer.” He described the hit and run car as a Buick, green with a lighter colored top, probably two or three years old; said it had lines like the car shown in the photographs of appellant’s car and that the driver had the same “symetrical lines” as the defendant.
John Griffin testified as an eye witness and positively identified appellant as the driver and appellant’s automobile as the hit and run car.
Jones, a photographer, testified that when he went to take photographs of appellant’s car for appellant’s insurance adjuster he heard appellant say “all this fuss over a Negro bitch” and heard the same voice say “I meant to kill the Negro bitch.”
The hit and run incident was reported to police at 8:58 P.M. and was broadcast at 9:00 P.M. At 9:15 P.M., appellant called the police and reported that he had been hit in the head. When officers arrived at his apartment in answer to his call, he reported that he had been robbed of his car and his pocket book at West Gray and South Shepherd by two or three Negro men, one of whom hit him on the back of the head, and he woke up in front of his house. He described the car he had been robbed of as a 1952 Buick, black top, light gray bottom, air conditioned Roadmaster.
The officers found no abrasions or visible bumps, and appellant produced a pocket book from his pocket but put it back and said he did not have the license number of his stolen car. Later, about 10:45 P.M., other officers went to appellant’s home and interrogated him, at which time he stated that one Negro held a knife against him and punched him in the back of the neck and that was all he remembered until he came to sitting on the curb in front of his home.
The officer took appellant with him on a cruise looking for the missing car. The 1952 Buick which appellant claimed, saying “there is my automobile,” was found some three hundred yards *544from appellant’s home. The Buick so found was the Buick which was taken to the police station and was identified as the hit and run car. Appellant was also taken to the police station and to jail.
The arresting officer testified that the Buick which appellant claimed was either light green or light blue, with a lighter top — which the injured party’s daughter picked out among other cars at the police station and identified as the hit and run car “without hesitation” the next morning.
Appellant did not testify and offered no testimony as to his whereabout or the whereabouts of his car at the time of the hit and run incident. His defense consisted of impeachment and attempted impeachment of the state’s witnesses and vigorous cross-examination seeking to weaken or nullify their testimony tending to identify appellant and his car as the hit and run car and driver. Reversal is sought upon three points, all of which relate to attempted impeachment of state witnesses.
Bill of Exception No. 1-A complains that the written sworn statement made by Mary Jo Montague at the police station some hour and a half after the accident was not furnished counsel for the defendant to be used for impeachment of the witness, that counsel “was not permitted to cross-examine said witness Mary Jo Montague from said statement and the statement itself was not permitted to be read to the jury.”
The statement in question was produced for the purpose of the bill of exception and reads:
“My name is Mary Jo Montague. I am 18 years of age. I live at 2125 Belmeade. I am a student.
“Tonight about 8:45 P.M., July 26, 1956, I was driving a 1952 Cadillac and was going north on River Oaks Boulevard. I came to the stop sign for San Felipe and stopped. I saw a car going west on San Felipe run the stop sign at River Oaks Boulevard.
“This car went across River Oaks Boulevard and hit a pedestrian that was crossing San Felipe. It did not stop at any time when it crossed River Oaks Boulevard. The woman that the car hit was crossing the street from north to south. She was crossing San Felipe Street.
*545“When the car hit her it stopped and then he started up again and was pushing her along in front of the car. He turned over toward his left curb and turned around. He pushed the woman up on the curb and then he backed up to get her off his car. He then pulled around her and turned right off of San Felipe onto River Oaks Boulevard, heading south. There were some people screaming to get the man’s license number. Then a woman came and jumped in my car and said to get his license number but I couldn’t see the number. I made a ‘U’ turn and started following him. He made a right turn off of River Oaks Boulevard onto Ella Lee. By the time I got there he was out of sight going around the circle. I got one more look at his license number. It was 2615 I think. The car was Green and white Buick about a 1950 to 1952. The top was white and the bottom was green. The car was going so fast that I couldn’t see the driver very well.
“After I lost the car I returned to the scene of the accident. The woman that had been hit was still laying where the car had left her. I went over to a girl friend’s house and then in about 10 minutes I came back and talked to the officers and told them what I knew. I was asked to come to the station and make this statement which I did.”
Appellant points to the following testimony of Miss Montague to sustain his contention that there are significant omissions in the above statement which, at worst, support an inference of recent fabrication or, at least, an inference of over zealous coaching calculated to harm the rights of appellant. She testified that there were Venetian blinds on the back of the hit and run car, that she heard a man’s voice scream out “I am going to kill you,” that there was a light over the license plate, and that she did not remember whether she saw any license number.
The predicate for impeaching the witness by the statement above quoted was: “Q. You told them everything you saw? A. Yes Sir, I did.” The record shows that just prior to this testimony Miss Montague had testified that at the scene of the accident, and after she returned from her pursuit of the hit and run car, she talked to no one except the policeman and “I told the policeman what I had seen and he asked me to come down to the police stationthat she did so and remained at the station about four hours; “Q. In the meantime you were being questioned about what you saw? A. Yes, Sir. Q. You told them everything you saw? A. Yes, Sir, I did.” It is apparent that the witness did not testify that the written statement contained all that she saw and heard.
*546The first witness who testified in the case was Officer D. L. Williams, who testified that he talked to Mary Jo Montague at the scene, but not at the police station; that she told him she chased the hit and run car about three blocks, that she thought the number was 2605 or 2615, he did not remember which, “she wasn’t sure of the number.” Officer Williams further testified that no one at the scene of the accident had given him any description of the hit and run driver. It is significant also that Officer Williams was required to deliver to defense counsel the information he received from witnesses at the scene and noted on four cards, without which he stated he would not be able to recall what each witness told him with reference to what they had seen or observed. The record shows that appellant’s counsel offered these cards in evidence, but the same are not incorporated in the record before us.
Bill No. 2-A presents a similar complaint regarding a written statement of the eleven-year old Jacquelyn Daggs. By written as well as oral motion appellant’s counsel sought to obtain order of the court requiring the delivery to him of the written statement of Jacquelyn to be used for the purpose of impeaching her. This bill shows that the statement in possession of the police was made at the police station the day following the accident; that such statement was produced and permitted to be examined by counsel for the defendant, but his request that he be permitted to cross-examine the witness from said statement and that it be admitted in evidence for the purpose of impeaching her was denied.
It was furnished for the purpose of the bill of exception and reads:
“My name is Jacquelyn Lois Daggs. I am eleven years of age. I reside at 2806 Canfield Street, Houston, Texas. I live with my mother and father. I am in the low sixth grade, and I attend Douglass school.
“Last night, July 26, 1956, sometimes after 8:00 P.M. my mother, brother and myself were coming from 3240 Delmonte street. We were walking West towards River Oaks Blvd. When we got to River Oaks Blvd. we crossed over to the West side of the street, and then started walking South on River Oaks Blvd. My mother and I were walking some distance ahead of my ten year old brother. When we got to where San Felipe crosses River Oaks Blvd. we stepped off the curb, and I saw a car coming West on San Felipe in the middle of the street, about a half a *547block away from us. This car ran the stop sign at San Felipe and River Oaks Blvd., which was facing him. When I say this car run this stop sign, I stopped still in my tracks, but my mother walked on to the middle of the street. This car hit my mother with it’s front end, and knocked my mother up the street aways, to the West. I then ran on across the street to the South West corner of the intersection, and ran to where my mother was laying. This car backed up off my mother and backed around into the street, heading back East on San Felipe. When this car headed back East he ran over my mother’s left leg again. I saw that the car was going to run off.
“Some man hollered and told the driver to stop, but he just went on anyway. The car turned right to go South on River Oaks Blvd. This car left the scene of the accident, going real fast. I stayed with my mother until the Police and ambulance got there and I rode away to the hospital with my mother. Just before we left for the hospital I told one of the policemen that part of the license number of the car that struck my mother was NY. I can read and write and after reading the above statement I find it to be true and correct.”
Jacquelyn Daggs, the testimony shows, was one of the witnesses that had made a statement to Officer Williams at the scene of the accident, memoranda of which was furnished appellant’s counsel. While the statement is not before us, it is clear from the testimony of Officer Williams that Jacquelyn gave him no description of the hit and run driver and did not furnish him the letters of the license number of the hit and run car.
Appellant’s counsel sought to interrogate Officer Williams about the contents of Jacquelyn’s statement made the next day when he was not present, but not as to her statement to him at the scene of the accident or omissions therefrom except as indicated above. The written statement sought to be used for impeachment purposes was made long after appellant and his automobile had been taken into custody. Omission of detailed description of either the car or the driver in a statement made at that time would not assume the importance of like omissions from a statement made at the scene before the hit and run driver and his car had been found and identified. She identified the hit and run car, picking it out from a number of automobiles at the police station the same day.
Jacquelyn testified, in part, that she got a good look at the *548driver; that he had on a fed and white sport shirt, “I think it was,” the design “checks, it looked like little dice-squares;” that the car was white and blue, top part white and the bottom blue, it was a Buick; that she saw the back glass and noticed blinds “like blinds you see in a house;” and that she first noticed the Venetian blinds on the car “when he was going around the corner.”
In appellant’s motion and requests, it was stated that the statements of Jacquelyn and of Miss Montague would exculpate appellant and establish that it was not his automobile that struck Fannie Lucille Daggs, and were materially different from their sworn testimony. We find only omissions. Jacquelyn did not at any time testify that she told the officers everything she saw or heard but, on the contrary, testified that she answered only the questions asked, and answered every question truthfully. Her statements above quoted would not have shown to the contrary and would have refuted the claimed inconsistencies and conflicts.
In addition to the facts which we have heretofore outlined and on the question of possible injury to the appellant, we observe that the only serious omission in either of the statements is that in Jacquelyn Daggs’ statement she did not describe the appellant, while in her testimony she identified him. Appellant was able to produce a letter written by the witness to her mother’s attorney within a week after the accident. These are the circumstances of the letter. Jacquelyn testified that she went to the office of her mother’s attorney after the accident and was told to write her version of everything she" saw and mail it back to him. This she did, and in such letter, which was introduced in evidence, she does not endeavor to describe the driver of the automobile or his dress, nor does she give the make or color of the automobile, nor does she say that it had Venetian blinds over the rear window. Since appellant was able to show to the jury that she made the same omissions in a written account prepared at her leisure in her own home after being instructed to write everything she could remember to her mother’s lawyer, we would not feel called upon to reverse a conviction because of the exclusion of this cumulative evidence.
The. statute now applicable in the Federal courts requires the production of such statements after the witness has testified on direct examination under the penalty of having the witness’ testimony at the trial stricken from the record, or a mistrial ordered. 18 U.S.C.A., sec. 3500.
*549It should be noted that in the Federal courts, under' the statute quoted, the refusal to" make such statements available to the defense does not call for a reversal of the conviction but merely requires that the trial court strike from the record the testimony of the witness who had made the prior statement.
In view of what we have heretofore said, we do not feel called upon in this case to decide whether to extend the holding in Lopez v. State, 158 S.W. 2d 16, 252 S.W. 2d 701, and Dowling v. State, No. 29, 637, 167 Texas Cr. Rep._________, 317 S.W. 2d 533,
so as to make it apply after the witness had testified, apply the Federal rule or hold, as appellant asks us to do, that reversible error is reflected by the action of the court in regard to such statements. We reserve a determination of that question until we are confronted with a case in which an accused has shown injury. Had the statements in question been tendered to the appellant and had he introduced them in evidence, they would have refuted his claim made on several occasions in thé presence of the jury that such statements would have shown that the witnesses were fabricating and that his client was innocent. At most, they would show that the witnesses had failed to see that the statement which they signed contained everything which they knew about the transaction.
Appellant also asserts that the court erred in admitting in its entirety the deposition of Jacquelyn taken on May 10, 1957. Appellant himself introduced portions of the deposition, and the state offered the remainder. Lacy v. State, 137 Texas Cr. Rep. 362, 128 S.W. 2d 1165, does not support his contention, because in that case none of the testimony at the former hearing was introduced in evidence, as it was in the case at bar, and Article 728, V.A.C.C.P., did not come into operation.
Finding no reversible error, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
