Wiggins v. The State.
    Argued January 15,
    Decided January 25, 1900.
    Indictment for murder. Before Judge Hart. Putnam superior court. September term, 1899.
    
      W. F. Jenkins & Son, for plaintiff in error. H. G. Lewis, solicitor-general, J. S. Turner, and W. B. Wingfield, contra.
   Lumpkin, P. J.

The charge, considered in the light of all the evidence* was neither erroneous nor incomplete, but sufficiently submitted the issues involved, and there was ample evidence to sustain the verdict of voluntary manslaughter. Indeed, there was testimony which would have justified a conviction of murder. Further comment is unnecessary, as no new question is presented for determination.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concurring.
