   DAVIDSON, P. J.

This conviction was for burglary, the punishment being assessed at three years’ confinement in the penitentiary.

The record is without a statement of facts or bills of exception. There was a plea of guilty, and the judgment shows a proper warning. To this there seems to ¿ave been no objection; at least, if so, it is not brought up in the record. The grounds of the motion for new trial are simply stated as grounds, and are not verified by exceptions, and pertain mainly to the insufficiency of the evidence and the admission of testimony which appellant alleges to have been erroneous. It also alleges appellant had been advised and influenced to plead guilty by a deputy sheriff who had threatened, if he did not do so, they would prosecute him in quite a number of eases. These are not verified, and therefore cannot be considered.

The judgment is affirmed.
