James B. Park, for plaintiff in error.

Joseph B. Pottle, solicitor-general, contra.

Cobb, J.

The accused was charged with murder, and convicted of voluntary manslaughter. He assigns error upon the refusal of the judge to grant him a new trial. The rulings contained in the headnotes dispose of all the questions of law raised by the motion for a new trial. The evidence authorized the verdict, and we see no reason for reversing the judgment.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
