Head Matter:
Clarence J. HINTON v. STATE.
(No. 12096.)
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
Dec. 19, 1928.
John Doyle, of McKinney, for appellant.
A. A. Dawson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
HAWKINS, J.
Conviction is for burglary, punishment being two years in the penitentiary.
No bills of exception are brought forward, complaining of anything occurring during the trial, and no objections were presented to the charge of the court. It is not necessary to detail the evidence. The state relied for a conviction on proof of appellant's possession of a part of the property stolen at the time of the burglary. The defense was an alibi and explanation of possession of the property by a claimed purchase. The issues were purely for the jury, which settled them in favor of the state.
The judgment is affirmed.
