Head Matter:
Sims v. The State.
Argued November 21, —
Decided December 9, 1904.
Indictment for murder. Before Judge Littlejohn. Dooly superior court. September 24, 1904. •
W. H. Dorris and Watts Powell, for plaintiff in error.
John 0. Hart, attorney-general, and F. A. Hooker, solicitor-general, contra.

Opinion:
Cobb, J.
The motion for a new trial was upon the general grounds only. The evidence for the State made a clear case of murder. The accused introduced no evidence. His statement tended to show that the killing was in self-defense. The jury have resolved the conflict in favor of the State. The trial judge has approved the verdict and refused a new trial, and no reason appears why his discretion in so doing should be interfered with.
Judgment affirmed.
All the Justices concur.
