Decided October 30, 1903.
Conviction of manslaughter. Before Judge Lewis. Greene superior court. September 21, 1903;
James B. Park, for plaintiff in error.
Joseph B. Pottle, solicitor-general, contra.

Opinion:
Cobb, J.
The accused was charged with murder, and convicted of voluntary manslaughter. He assigns error upon the refusal of the judge to grant him a new trial. The rulings contained in the headnotes dispose of all the questions of law raised by the motion for a new trial. The evidence authorized the verdict, and we see no reason for reversing the judgment.
Judgment affirmed.
All the Justices concur.
