Opinion:
Per Curiam:
The appeal herein is dismissed (1) for the reason that the judgment of the state court sought to be reviewed is based upon a non-federal ground adequate to support it, Stone v. State, 48 Tex. Cr. 114; 86 S. W. 1029; Farson Son & Co. v. Bird, 248 U. S. 268, 271; Doyle v. Atwell, 261 U. S. 590, McCoy v. Shaw, 277 U. S. 302, and (2) for the want of a substantial federal question, Watson v. Maryland, 218 U. S. 173, 175-180; Crane v. Johnson, 242 U. S. 339, 342-344; McNaughton v. Johnson, 242 U. S. 344, 348-349; Graves v. Minnesota, 272 U. S. 425; Hurwitz v. North, 271 U. S. 40, 43.
