WOODLEY, Judge,
concurring.
The trial court did not err in declining to hear testimony in support of appellant’s motion for new trial for the reason that the matters complained of occurred, if at all, in the jury room during the deliberations of the jury and there is no affidavit of a juror or other person in position to know the facts to support the motion for new trial, and no showing why such an affidavit could not be secured and made a part of the motion. Valdez v. State, 157 Tex. Cr. R. 363, 248 S.W. 2d 744; and other authorities cited in my dissenting opinion in Moore v. State, 160 Tex. Cr. R. 642, 275 S.W. 2d 673.
I concur in the affirmance of the conviction.
