      Alvin M. Owsley, Assistant Attorney General, for the State.
    On question of failure in the charge of trial court is not reviewable without statement of facts: Lewis v. State, 220 S. W. Rep., 1094; Pulliam v. State, 219 id., 828; Bradley v. State, 221 id., 1086; Guillen v. State, 221 id., 1086.
   MORROW, Judge.

Conviction is for burglary. There is no statement of facts. Bill of exceptions complaining of the failure of the court to charge on the law of accomplice testimony and circumstantial evidence are in the record but are accompanied by no facts enabling the court to determine whether they are applicable or not. In the absence of matters in the record to the contrary, the presumption in favor of the correctness of the court’s ruling prevails.

The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
