Head Matter:
WOMACK v. STATE.
No. 17621.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
June 5, 1935.
Rehearing Denied June 28, 1935.
Thos. C. Ferguson, O. B. Zimmerman, and Ben L. King, all of Burnet, and N. T. Stubbs, of Johnson City, for appellant.
Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
KRIEGER, Judge.
The appellant was tried and convicted of the offense of burglary, and his. punishment was assessed at confinement in the state penitentiary for a term of two years.
This is a companion case to that of Arthur Hays v. State, 84 S.W.(2d) 1008, No. 17622, this day decided by this court, and the facts in this case are in every respect identical to the facts in that. Therefore, we will not restate the facts here, but will refer to said case for a statement of the facts.
The appellant by bill of exception No. 1, which is the only bill of exception contained in the record, complains of the action of the' trial court in declining to submit to the jury his special requested peremptory charge directing a verdict of not guilty on the ground that the evidence is insufficient to warrant a conviction for the offense of burglary. We do not deem it necessary in passing on. the question here presented to again restate the facts developed upon the trial of this case, but deem it sufficient to say that the testimony adduced upon the trial, as will appear from the facts in the companion case of Hays v. State, supra, is-sufficient to authorize the trial court to submit the issue to the jury under appropriate instructions. The jury, who are the exclusive judges of the facts proven, the credibility of the witnesses, and the weight to be given to their testimony, determined the issue of guilt against the appellant, and this court would not, under the facts, be authorized to overturn their verdict.
Finding no reversible error in the record, the judgment of the trial court is in all things affirmed.
PER CURIAM.
The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the court.
