Opinion

No. A-7313.

Opinion Filed April 26, 1930.

(Syllabus.)

Trial — Controverted Questions of Fact for Jury. Under the law in Oklahoma, controverted questions of fact, involving the guilt or innocence of a person on trial in a court of competent jurisdiction before a jury, are to be settled exclusively by such jury.

Appeal from District Court, Jefferson County; M.W. Pugh, Judge.

R.R. Stanton was convicted of assault with a dangerous weapon, and he appeals. Affirmed.

Bridges Ivy, for plaintiff in error.

The Attorney General and J.H. Lawson, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.


The plaintiff in error was convicted in the district court of Jefferson county of the crime of assault with a dangerous weapon and his punishment fixed at imprisonment in the state penitentiary for a term of eighteen months. He appeals from this conviction.

But one question is presented by this appeal, and that is the sufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict of the jury. From a careful examination of the record we find there is sufficient competent evidence in the record to support the verdict. No error being apparent, the cause is affirmed.

EDWARDS, P.J., and DAVENPORT, J., concur.
