1t appears that the rule had been invoked

been in the court room during the adms-
sion Of all the testimony We do not think
that the court abused It's discretion In per
hitting a deputy sheriff to testify who has
not been placed under the rule whvl the
services of that officer may be necessary
about the court room. Appellant was duly
warned before he made the confession In
troduced in evidence. Hence there was no
error in Introducing such confession. We
have examined the charge of the court md

PAT WILSON. from Grayson: conviction
for assault to murder--Affir,ned.
The court charged the Jury on assault
with intent to murder. aggravated assault
and self defense. In our opinion there was
no self defense in the case. Appellant con-
tends that the weapon used must be one
not only capable Of producing serious bod
lily injury. but capable OF producing death.
In an assault with intent TO murder the
main thing to be established Is the specific
intent ORDINARILY the weapon used and tho
manner OF its use are looked to by the jury
in order to enable them TO determine the
purpose and intent with which the assault
was made. Appellant complains that the
court had no right to give the jury an ad
dtional instruction after they had retired
TO consider their verdict. The jury seem
to have requested further instructions. and
In this there was no error.
