Head Matter:
W. S. Lynch v. The State.
No. 6569.
Decided December 21, 1921.
Rehearing denied January 25, 1921.
1. — Assault to Murder — Statement of Facts — Practice on Appeal.
In the absence of a statement of facts and a bill of exceptions, there being a sufficient indictment and charge of the court, the judgment must be affirmed.
2. — Same—Statement of Fact — Practice on Appeal — Rehearing—Executive Clemency.
Where, in his motion for rehearing, it was stated that for some reason unknown to counsel there was a failure to file the statement of facts, etc., this court can give no relief in the absence of a bill of exceptions, and a showing that appellant has been deprived of a statement of facts after the exercise of due diligence on his part; and executive clemency would be the only remedy.
Appeal from the Criminal District Court of Dallas. Tried below before the Honorable Robt. B. Seay.
Appeal from a conviction of assault with intent to murder; penalty, two years imprisonment in the penitentiary.
The opinion states the case.
W. 0. Scott, for appellant.
R. G. Storey, Assistant Attorney General, for the State.

Opinion:
DATTIMORE, Judge.
Appellant was convicted in the Criminal District Court of Dallas County of the offense of assault with intent to murder, and his punishment fixed at two years in the penitentiary.
The record is before us without a statement of facts or bills of exception. We have examined the indictment, which seems to be in conformity with the statute, and the charge of the court, which presents the law of the case fairly. In this condition of the record no other matter is before us for consideration, and the judgment of the trial court will be affirmed.
Affirmed.
