Mobley, Justice,
concurring specially. 1. For reasons stated in my dissent in Hill v. Willis, 224 Ga. 263, supra, I do not agree that the denial of the motion for new trial, as amended, unappealed from, fixed as the law of the case all the issues raised in the motion for new trial, as amended. However, I agree with the majority that the court did not err in denying the motion requiring the solicitor general and sheriff to make available to the defendant certain physical evidence for examination, inspection, etc., for reasons stated in their opinion.
2. I have carefully considered the evidence in the ease, and, while circumstantial, I am of the opinion that it amply supports the verdict.
3. The testimony of the deputy sheriff concerning a conversation with the defendant was not prejudicial to the defendant, and the admission of this evidence was not reversible error.
