Raymond BALLEW, Appellant, v. STATE, Appellee.
    No. 19980.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Jan. 25, 1939.
    Rehearing Denied March 8, 1939.
    Jas.- C. Mahan, of Childress, and Robert Harrison, Marvin B. Simpson, and Harris Brewster, all of Fort Worth, for appellant.
    John Deaver, Dist. Atty., of Memphis, and Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.
   KRUEGER, Judge.

■The offense is an assault with intent to murder. The punishment assessed is confinement in the state penitentiary for a term of two years.

This is a companion case to that of Raymond Ballew v. State, 125 S.W.2d 295, this day decided by us. The facts proved in this case are in all essential respects similar to those proved upon the trial of that case and the same legal questions are involved.

For the reasons there stated, the judgment of the trial court is reversed and the cause remanded.

PER CURIAM.

The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the Court.

On Motion for Rehearing to Modify or Enlarge Opinion.

HAWKINS, Judge.

We think appellant’s request for postponement of his motion should be denied.

It occurs to us that our observations as tQ certain evidence in our opinion in the companion case, Raymond Bellew v. State, 125 S.W.2d 295, is sufficient guide for the trial court on another trial without further elaboration on the subject in the present case.

The motion for rehearing is overruled.
