Opinion:
DAVIDSON, J.
Appellant was convicted for the abandonment of his wife and failure to support her.
The testimony for the state is sufficient to support the verdict. The testimony' introduc- eel on tlie part Of appellant refutes the charge in the indictment and contradicts the testimony for the state. This was a matter for the jury, and this court would not feel justified in reversing on account of the conflict in the testimony.
Therefore the judgment will have to be affirmed.
