11378.
    Williams v. The State.
    Decided May 11, 1920.
    • Indictment for murder — conviction of manslaughter; from Pulaski superior court — Judge Graham. January 33, 1930.
    
      M. H. Boyer, H. E. Coates, for plaintiff in error.
    
      W. A. Wooten, solicitor-general, H. F. Lawson, contra.
   Luke, J.

The evidence in this case was conflicting, and a verdict of either murder, voluntary manslaughter, or justifiable homicide, according as the jury gives credence to the evidence, would have been authorized. The charge of the court, when read in its entirety, submitted the issues fully and fairly to the jury. The verdict has the approval of the trial judge, and for no reason assigned do we find error requiring a new trial

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, C. J., and Bloodworth, J., concur.
