(81 South. 894)
    McDONALD v. STATE.
    (8 Div. 530.)
    (Court of Appeals of Alabama.
    March 18, 1919.)
    Appeal from Circuit Court, Lawrence County; C. P. Almon, Judge. Will McDonald was indicted for murder in the first degree, and upon a trial was convicted of murder in the second degree, and sentenced to a term of 10 years in the penitentiary. From the judgment of conviction he appeals.
    Affirmed.
    William L. Chenault, of Russellville, for appellant.
    J. Q. Smith, Atty. Gen., for the State.
   SAMFORD, J.

There is no brief filed for the appellant in this cause, but his insistence is set forth in the motion for a new trial, in which he assigns four grounds: (1) That the verdict was contrary to the evidence; (2) that there was not sufficient evidence to support the verdict; (3) because the court refused to give the affirmative charge as requested by the defendant; and (4) that there was not sufficient evidence to support the judgment. We have carefully examined the evidence in this case, and are of the opinion that it was a question for the jury under the facts, and that the entire case was submitted to the jury under a full, fair, and impartial charge from the trial court. There is no error in the record, and the judgment is in all things affirmed. Affirmed.
