Opinion:
DAVIDSON, Presiding Judge.
The record is before us without a statement of facts or bill of exceptions. There are no assignment of errors in the record. The only contention in the court below was the want of sufficient evidence to sustain the conviction. Without a statement of facts this matter cannot be reviewed. The extreme penalty of the law was imposed upon appellant for murder in the first degree. As the record is presented the judgment must be affirmed.
Affirmed.
