After correctly instructing the jury as to the law' in reference to the defendant’s statement, it was not error in that connection to charge: “ remembering that it is not under oath nor subject to the penalties incident to a sworn witness.” Ryals v. State, 125 Ga. 266 (54 S. E. 168), and citation; Harrison v. State, 28 Ga. App. 554 (112 S. E. 293).
