31427.
    BROWN v. THE STATE.
   Gunter, Justice.

The appellant was convicted for having committed murder; the state waived the death penalty; he was sentenced to life imprisonment; he made a motion for a new trial that was overruled by the trial judge; and he has come to this court for review.

The appellant has enumerated three errors here, and after reviewing the record and transcript,.we conclude: (1) that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in overruling the appellant’s motion for a continuance of the trial; (2) the trial court did not commit error in determining that testimony as to appellant’s oral confession to an officer could be submitted to the jury; and (3) the trial judge did not commit error in refusing to charge the jury on involuntary manslaughter.
