Head Matter:
GRANT v. STATE.
(No. 11719.)
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
June 6, 1928.
Rehearing Granted Feb. 13, 1929.
Fires & Williams, of Childress, for appellant.
A. A. Dawson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for tbe State.

Opinion:
DATTIMORE, J.
Conviction for unlawfully carrying a pistol; punishment, a fine of $100.
Tbe record is before us without any bills. of exception. From tbe record it appears that a jury was waived and the issues in this case submitted to tbe court. At tbe time of tbe alleged unlawful carrying of tbe pistol appellant was going from a point in one county to a point in another county of this state. Tbe testimony as to the distance is conflicting, tbe sheriff of tbe county testifying tbat tbe distance between tbe two points was 35 miles, tbe testimony of appellant being tbat it was something over 50 miles. Apparently tbe defense interposed was tbat appellant was a traveler. This is a question of fact, and we are not disposed to hold tbat the judgment entered was an abuse of tbe right of the court to pass on tbe credibility of tbe witnesses and tbe weight of tbe testimony. George v. State, 90 Tex. Cr. R. 179, 234 S. W. 87; Wortham v. State, 95 Tex. Cr. R. 135, 252 S. W. 1063; Hall v. State, 102 Tex. Cr. R. 329, 277 S. W. 129.
Finding no error in tbe record, tbe judgment will be affirmed.
