Carruthers v. State

DAVIDSON, Judge.

Upon his plea of guilty to the offense of hog theft, appellant was convicted and his punishment assessed at confinement in the State penitentiary for a term of two years.

No statement of the facts adduced upon the trial of this case nor bills of exception accompany this record.

By motion for a new trial, appellant attempts to raise the question of jury misconduct. The motion relied upon is not verified by either appellant or his counsel. Such a motion is fatally defective.
