Head Matter:
Charley Jackson v. The State.
No. 2434.
Decided April 30, 1913.
Rehearing denied May 28, 1913.
1. —Assault to Murder—Statement of Facts—Practice on Appeal.
In the absence of a statement of facts, the failure of the court to charge on aggravated assault and the question of the insufficiency of the evidence can not be considered on appeal.
2. —Same—Statement of Facts—Want of Diligence—Practice on Appeal.
Before a reversal can be demanded for the failure to secure a statement of facts, the inability of the appellant to secure a statement of facts must be shown, and a simple request on his part of the court to compel the stenographer to file such statement of facts is insufficient.
Apeal from the District Court of Jasper. Tried below before the Hon. W. B. Powell.
Appeal from a conviction of assault with intent to murder; penalty, three years imprisonment in the penitentiary.
The opinion states the case.
Blake & Williams and J. J. Lee, for appellant.
C. E. Lane, Assistant Attorney-General, for the State.

Opinion:
DAVIDSON, Presiding Judge.
Appellant was convicted of assault with intent to murder, his punishment being assessed at three years confinement in the penitentiary.
The contentions of appellant, in the motion for new trial as well as Eis assignments of error, are all based upon the failure of the court to charge the issue of aggravated assault and the insufficiency of the evidence to support the conviction. These matters can not be considered in the absence of the statement of facts. Appellant has filed a brief in which it is contended the evidence suggested the issues he assigns as error, and refers to the evidence in support of his contention. In the absence of the evidence this court is not in position to review the questions presented.
The judgment, therefore, will be affirmed.
Affirmed.
