None on appeal.

George P. Blackburn, State's Atty., of Austin, for the State.


DAVIDSON, Judge.

Murder without malice is the offense; the punishment, five years' confinement in the penitentiary.

That appellant killed deceased by stabbing him with a knife is not disputed. The facts support the verdict.

The defensive issues were pertinently submitted to the jury and in such a manner as that no exception or objection was reserved to the charge.

No error appearing, the judgment is affirmed.

Opinion approved by the Court.
