ON MOTION FOR REHEARING.
BELCHER, Judge.
On motion for rehearing appellant again urges that she should have been permitted to narrate the happenings between her and the injured party on the day of the shooting in answer to her counsel’s question to tell the jury in her own words and in her own way what occurred, which was denied by the court in sustaining an objection by the state to her making a narrative answer.
In addition to that stated in our original opinion, we observe that the trial judge in his discretion may refuse to permit a witness to testify in narrative form, and his ruling thereon will not be reviewed in the absence of an abuse of discretion. Such abuse is not here reflected, thus no error is shown.
Appellant again urges that the overruling of her objection to the.cbmplained-of question last set out in our original'opinion *499was error. This objection was made after said question was answered in the affirmative, and appellant made no motion to exclude or withdraw said answer. In the absence of such request, no error is shown. Johnson v. State, 90 Tex. Cr. R. 229, 234 S. W. 891; Adams v. State, 158 Tex. Cr. R. 306, 255 S. W. 2d 513.
Appellant’s motion for rehearing is overruled.
Opinion approved by the Court.
