Opinion:
Wade, C. J.
There was direct evidence to support the verdict of guilty. The motives actuating the witnesses for the State were for consideration by the jury in weighing their testimony, and may not be inquired into by this court. There was no error in overruling the motion for a new trial, which was based on general grounds only.
Judgment affirmed.
George and Lulce, JJ., concur.
