Head Matter:
JOYCE v. STATE.
(Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
June 18, 1913.)
Appeal from District Court, Bexar County; W. S. Anderson, Judge. W. T. Joyce, alias Hottie Joyce, was convicted of theft, and appeals.
Affirmed.
C. E: Lane, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

Opinion:
DAVIDSON, P. J.
This conviction was for the theft of divers and sundry pistols, amounting in value to $190 as charged. Three grounds of the motion for new trial complain that West-moreland was not corroborated by legal and competent evidence tending to connect defendant with the commission of the offense, was not sufficiently corroborated as required by law, and because the court erred in defining the law of accomplices. The evidence is not before us, and there are no bills of exception in the record. The charge on accomplice testimony seems to be sufficient. The allegations criticis-ing the charge are of the most general nature and point out no defect. However, the charge seems to be in conformity with the decisions.' The judgment is affirmed.
