Dorsey v. The State.
Decided July 11, 1922.
Indictment for possessing liquor; from Cobb superior court — Judge Blair. April 15, 1922.
John T. Dorsey, for plaintiff in error.
John S. Wood, solicitor-general, Lindley W. Camp, contra.

Opinion:
Broyles, C. J.
1. The evidence in support of the defense of alibi was not of such probative value as to require a charge on the law of alibi, in the absence of a timely written request. Paulk v. State, 8 Ga. App. 704 (2) (70 S. E. 50), and citations.
2. The defendant's conviction was amply authorized by the evidence and the court did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial.
Judgment affirmed.
Luke and Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
