November 7, 1923.]
The State of Washington, Respondent, v. Elmer E. Williams, Appellant.
Appeal from a judgment of the superior court for Pierce county, Askren, J., entered April 4, 1923, upon a trial and conviction of a criminal charge.
Affirmed.
Gordon <£- Nolte, for appellant.
J. W. Selden and John A. Sorley, for respondent.
Reported in 219 Pac. 1119.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The defendant suffered conviction on a criminal charge and appeals here, raising hut one question; that is, that the evidence is insufficient to justify the verdict against him. While the evidence (as in all cases where a defense is interposed) is conflicting, there is ample on the part of the state, if believed, to justify the submission of the case to the jury and for the jury to have returned the verdict which it did. Affirmed.
