Head Matter:
MAULTSBY v. STATE.
No. 13450.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
June 18, 1930.
Rehearing Denied Jan. 7, 1931.
G-. A. Walters, of San Saba, for appellant.
A. A'. Dawson, State’s Atty., of Canton, for the State.

Opinion:
MARTIN, J.
Offense, the unlawful sale of intoxicating liquor; penalty, twenty-two months in the penitentiary.
The record in this case shows that notice of appeal herein was giyen November 4, 1929; that court adjourned November 6, 1929; that appellant's only bill of exception was filed February 4, 1930; and that his statement of facts was filed January 27,1930. In the order overruling appellant's motion for new trial, he was given eighty days "from and after the adjournment of this Court in which to file his statement of facts and bills of exception." The bill of exception was filed too late for consideration, but, under the terms of article 760, C. C. P. (1925), the statement of facts was filed in time, and will be considered.
(The alleged insufficiency of the evidence .is the1 only question presented for review. No useful purpose can be served by a tedious recital of the testimony. The statement of facts shows that the accusatory allegations of the indictment were sufficiently and fully proven. Some contradiction appears in the testimony of the state's witnesses, but this presented a matter for the jury, who are the sole judges of the credibility of the witnesses. We regard the state's testimony as sufficient, if believed by the jury, to sustain the verdict of guilty.
The judgment will be 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.
