(78 South. 989)
    KING v. STATE.
    (8 Div. 70.)
    (Supreme Court of Alabama.
    April 11, 1918.)
    Appeal from Circuit Court, Franklin County; J. J. Curtis, Judge. Bob King was convicted of murder, and appeals.
    Affirmed.
    The defendant was tried on an indictment charging murder in the first degree. He was convicted of murder in the second degree, and sentenced to the penitentiary for a period of 25 years; hence he prosecutes this appeal.' The defendant pleaded self-defense. Several written charges were given at the request of the defendant, ’and some few refused. The oral charge of the court instructed the jury fully as to the different degrees of homicide, and as to the law applicable to the theory of self-defense. There were a few objections to the evidence, but they are not considered as sufficiently important to be here set out.
    Travis Williams, of Russellville, and A. H. Carmichael, of Tuseumbia, for appellant. F. Loyd Tate, Atty. Gen., and Emmett S. Thigpen, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
   GARDNER, J.

The record in this case has been given very careful consideration. New questions are presented by the bill of exceptions for review. We do not deem any of them of sufficient importance to be here given separate treatment, or deserving discussion. Suffice it to say these few questions have been very carefully examined, and we find nothing in any of them calling for a reversal of this cause. The judgment of conviction will accordingly be affirmed. Affirmed.

ANDERSON, C. J., and McCLELLAN and SAYRE, JJ., concur.
