      John A. Boykin, solicitor-general, E. A. Stephens, contra.
   Broyles. C. J.

1. The venue of the crime was clearly proved,

2. The evidence authorized the jury to find that the accused made an assult upon his wife with the intent to murder her, and that he assaulted her with a weapon likely to produce death.

3. The verdict was amply authorized by the evidence, and it was not error for any reason assigned to overrule the motion for a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

Luke and Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
