On Rehearing.
[8] This court is not unmindful of the grave question involved in the discretion reposed in a trial judge in examination of jurors being selected to try a case, and so forcefully presented in brief of appellant’s counsel. But, of necessity, great discretionary power in the selection of jurors to try cases must rest with the trial judge, and apX>ellate courts will not interfere with this discretion, so long as no abuse of power is shown. It will be observed that in both of the cases cited by appellant (Lester v. State, 37 Fla. 382, 20 South. 232; Hubbard v. State, 37 Fla. 156, 20 South. 235), the Florida Supreme Oourt recognized this principle, and in neither case was the trial court reversed.
Application overruled.
