December 8, 1948. Appellant's Motion for Rehearing Denied (Without Written Opinion) January 12, 1949.

Charge — Exceptions To — Not Appraised — Absent Bills of Exception — Statement of Facts.

Exceptions to the court's charge cannot be appraised in the absence of bills of exception and statement of facts.

Murder without malice. Appeal from the district court of Travis County; penalty confinement in the penitentiary for five years.

Hon. Roy C. Archer, Judge Presiding.

Affirmed.

Shelton Shelton, Austin, for appellant.

Ernest S. Geons, State's Attorney, Austin, for the state.


Appellant was convicted of the murder of T. H. Davis, Jr., without malice, and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary.

The record is before us without bills of exception and without a statement of facts. We find quite a list of exceptions taken to the court's charge but are unable to appraise their value in the state of the record as we have it.

Finding no reversible error, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
