A motion has been entered in the
supreme court by the States attorney
in the Lipscomb case, asking that a
judgment of affirmance be entered in
stead of reversal. The ground of the
motion is, in substance, that the opin-

hold that the admission of the dying
declaration was not reversible error,
nor was there reversible errer in the
instructions, these being the two points
upon which the judgment of reversal
was had.
