Starr v. The State.
Decided May 19, 1916.
Indictment for murder — conviction of voluntary manslaughter; from Clayton superior court — Judge Smith. March 11, 1916.
W. Ij. Watterson, Joseph W. & John D. Humphries, for plaintiff in error. George M. Napier, solicitor-general, contra.

Opinion:
Russell, C. J.
There was no eye-witness to the homicide, and there were some circumstances so strongly indicating a mutual intent to fight, and a mutual combat, as to authorize the instructions of the court upon the subject of voluntary manslaughter, as well as to warrant the verdict of that offense; and the court did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial. Judgment affirmed.
