Head Matter:
WALLACE v. STATE.
(No. 12237.)
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
Feb. 6, 1929.
Rehearing Denied March 20, 1929.
J. S. Kendall, of Munday, for appellant.
A. A. Dawson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
HAWKINS, J.
Conviction is for rape; punishment being 50 years in the penitentiary.
We'find no necessity for setting out the evidence in detail. The facts make a complete case of guilt. Appellant's confession left little, if anything, to he -supplemented by the other testimony.
There are no bills of exception in the record. In his motion for new trial, appellant complains, among other things, because his application for continuance was not granted. The application is before us by supplemental transcript. It has many times been held that the refusal of a continuance will not be reviewed in the absence of a bill of exception bringing the matter forward. For collation of authorities, see section 304, Branch's Ann. Tex. P. C. Among later cases upon the same subject will be found Martin v. State, 92 Tex. Cr. R. 124, 242 S. W. 234; Miller v. State, 93 Tex. Cr. R. 163, 246 S. W. 87; Turner v. State, 109 Tex. Cr. R. 301, 4 S.W.(2d) 58.
Another ground of the motion for new trial avers that error was committed by the trial court in permitting appellant's wife to testify to incriminating facts against him. We find no bill bringing any such complaint forward. Some other questions are suggested in. appellant's brief, but they likewise ate not properly before us.
The judgment is affirmed.
