Conviction is for robbery. Punishment was assessed at five years’ confinement in the.penitentiary.
The record is before us without statement of facts. Appellant filed an application for continuance on the ground of the absence of a witness by whom he expected to prove an alibi. It is not necessary in the disposition we make of the case to set out the proposed testimony of the absent witness. Under authority of Stephens v. State, 69 Tex. Cr. R. 379, 154 S. W. 1001, and Dove v. State, 36 Tex. Cr. R. 105, 35 S. W. 648, we are of the *654opinion that the application was insufficient on its face. We do not discuss that phase of the matter, however, because it has been held by this court on numberless occasions that, in the absence of a statement of facts, the court cannot review an alleged error in refusing a continuance for absent witnesses. Many cases will be found collated under article 844, Vernon’s O. O. P., note 7, page 814. The reason for such holding is apparent when we bear in mind the last provision of subdivision 6 of article 608, Vernon’s C. O.' P., relative to continuances. The clause referred to provides:
“That should an application for continuance be' overruled, and the defendant convicted, if it appear upon the trial that the evidence of the witness or witnesses named in the application was of a material character, and that the facts set forth in said application were probably true, a new trial should be granted, and the cause continued for the term, or postponed to a future day of the same term.”
• Where the court has overruled an application for continuance, in determining whether an error was committed by such action, upon hearing of a motion for a new trial he must-necessarily take into consideration all the evidence adduced on the trial. We must presume that the 'trial judge did that in this instance, and, in the absence of a statement of facts showing the evidence, we are not in a position to review his action.
The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
