Ex parte Sudduth.
    Petition for Mandamus.
    Francis M. Purifoy, for petitioner.
    Wess Sudduth. filed a petition addressed to the judges of the Supreme Court asking for the issuance of a writ of mandamus, commanding the judge of the county court of Tuscaloosa, to vaiMte and set aside a judgment of conviction rendered by him in the case of The State of Alabama v. Wess Sudduth. The exhibits to the petition show that the facts relied on by the petitioner are in direct contradiction to the records of the county court, and rest in pais.
    
    The court holds that the record alone can be looked to, and the record in this case showing no ground for the writ of mandamus,
    
    the prayer is denied and the petition dismissed.
