*81ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
BELCHER, Judge.
In her motion for rehearing, appellant urges error in the use of a written statement made by the mother-in-law of the prosecutrix during her examination by the state because it was permitting the state to impeach its own witness.
The record shows that said witness had knowledge of facts surrounding the alleged offense. It was shown that the witness was unwilling to disclose pertinent facts contained in her former written statement, thereupon the state pleaded surprise and the jury was instructed that the same was permitted only for the purpose of impeachment. Under these facts, no error is shown.
We remain convinced that the appeal was properly disposed of on original submission.
Appellant’s motion for rehearing is overruled.
Opinion approved by the court.
