Head Matter:
17349.
Truitt v. The State.
Decided July 13, 1926.
L. B. Wyatt, for plaintiff in error.
W. Y. Atkinson, solicitor-general, contra.

Opinion:
Lube, J.
The evidence for the State (no evidence being presented by the
accused) made a positive case against the defendant, and the jury could not have done other than convict him. The special assignment of error that the court did not charge upon the law of confessions is wholly without merit. See, in this connection, Story v. State, 145 Ga. 43 (2) (88 S. E. 548). The court properly overruled the motion for a new trial.
Judgment affirmed.
Broyles, G. J., and Bloodworth, J., concur.
