The offense is unlawful possession of a still for the manufacture of intoxicating liquor and the punishment is one year in the penitentiary.
There is no statement of facts on file in this court. The only bill of exceptions that could manifest error in the absence of a statement of facts is the one pertaining to the alleged misconduct of the jury. The substance of this misconduct is to the effect that after the jury retired to consider their verdict, the jurors, Hamor and Wilson, stood for an acquittal while the other ten jurors stood for a conviction and that certain of the jurors who were for conviction said things to the juror, Hamor, which were calculated to and did intimidate him into rendering a verdict of guilty. We have very carefully examined the testimony that was introduced on this question before the trial court while considering the motion for a new trial and have reached the conclusion, first, that Hamor’s testimony itself is hardly sufficient to show any improper conduct on the part of any other juror toward him; and, second, we think it is entirely súfficient to show that there was such conflict between the testimony of Hamor and the other jurors who testified on the motion as to make it clear that the .trial "court did not abuse his' discretion in refusing to grant a new trial.
Finding no error in the record, the judgment is affirmed.
