13619.
    Dorsey v. The State.
    Decided July 11, 1922.
    Indictment for possessing liquor; from Cobb superior court — Judge Blair. April 15, 1922.
    
      John T. Dorsey, for plaintiff in error.
    
      John S. Wood, solicitor-general, Lindley W. Camp, contra.
   Broyles, C. J.

1. The evidence in support of the defense of alibi was not of such probative value as to require a charge on the law of alibi, in the absence of a timely written request. Paulk v. State, 8 Ga. App. 704 (2) (70 S. E. 50), and citations.

2. The defendant’s conviction was amply authorized by the evidence and the court did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial.

■Judgment affirmed.

Luke and Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
