   PRENDERGAST, Judge.

—The appellant was convicted of murder in the first degree and given a life sentence.

There is neither a statement of the facts nor bill of exceptions. The only questions attempted to be raised are by the motion for new trial. None of them are of such a nature as that we can consider them in the absence of a statement' of facts. This court uniformly, under such circumstances, holds that it must presume that the action of the lower court was in every way valid and legal.-

The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.

DAVIDSON, Presiding Judge, not sitting.
