J. T. Ray v. The State.
No. 5203.
Decided November 20, 1918.

Appeal from a conviction of murder; penalty, twenty-five years imprisonment in the penitentiary.
The opinion states the case.
Carlos Bee, for appellant.
E. B. Hendricks, Assistant Attorney General, for the State.

Opinion:
DAVIDSON, Presiding Judge.
Appellant was convicted of murder, the jury assessing his punishment at twenty-five years in the penitentiary.
This is a fact case, without hills of exception either to the introduction or rejection of testimony, or to the charges of the court. The evidence is fully sufficient to support the verdict of the jury. Appellant's theory of his case was self-defense. The jury, however, disregarded his view of it and found him guilty. We deem it unnecessary to review the facts. They would be of no practical utility to the bar and bench, and, therefore, the facts are not collated.
The judgment will he affirmed.
Affirmed.
