1Opinion of the CourtRowEUi., C. J.
The prisoner is under conviction of murder of the second degree for killing Ephrain Root on- October 12, 1903. It appeared that Root lived at John Green’s at the time of the homicide, and that the prisoner had made it his home there for 'about eighteen years next before June, 1903.
