Head Matter:
Rountree v. The State.
Argued October 21, —
Decided October 29, 1903.

Opinion:
Turner, J.
There was nothing in the evidence warranting a charge upon the ' subject of voluntary manslaughter; the evidence sufficiently established the charge of murder brought against the accused; and the newly discovered evidence was merely cumulative, and not of such a character as to constrain the granting of a new trial. Judgment affirmed.
All the Justices concur.
