Around noon in a barrio of the province of Iloilo, the appellant went up the house of the offended party and inquired of a woman therein where her brother (the offended party) was. Seeing her alone in the house with her child, the accused stood up and reached for a sack containing money and other articles belonging to the offended party. Upon the woman's trying to prevent him from taking said sack by clutching his clothes, the appellant tore and disengaged himself away by violently pushing her, thus being able to go down the house. She pursued him downstairs and when she tried to hold him back again, appellant unsheathed a scythe which he was carrying on his waist and with it threatened her. Thereupon, he fled to a corn field in the neighborhood. The money and the effects taken by the accused were proven to be worth P922.25. The accused set up the defense of alibi, which was not proven. Held: The accused should be sentenced to suffer an indeterminate penalty of not less than 3 months of arresto mayor nor more than 3 years, 8 months and 1 day of prision correccional.
