Vaughn v. The State.
   Bell, Justice.

The defendant was indicted for the offense of murder by running over and killing a named person with an automobile, and on the trial was convicted of the offense charged. His motion for a new trial based solely upon the general grounds was overruled, and he excepted. Beld, that the evidence was sufficient to support the verdict, and the judgment refusing a new trial was not erroneous as contended. See Butler v. State, 178 Ga. 700 (173 S. E. 856); Jones v. State, 185 Ga. 68 (194 S. E. 216); Meadows v. State, 186 Ga. 592 (199 S. E. 133). The case differs on its facts from Ivey v. State, 191 Ga. 461 (12 S. E. 2d, 879). Judgment affirmed.
