1976The objection was overruled and defendant contends error upon the statement of the general rule in State v. Castino, 264 S.W.2d 372, 375 (Mo.1954), where it was said: “ * * * it is the general rule that a party by calling a witness vouches for his credibility and will not be permitted to cross-examine or impeach him, except in case of entrapment, or where he is hostile.” Defendant overlooks the fact, however, that this was not impeachment of the witness.
