1Opinion of the CourtWinborne, J.
While the assignments of error on this appeal are too numerous and extensive to admit of treatment seriatim within the bounds of an opinion of reasonable length, we have given careful attention to each of them and fail to find cause for disturbing the judgment on the verdict against appellant.
In this State a murder “which shall be committed in the perpetration or attempt to perpetrate any . . . robbery ... or other felony, shall be deemed to be murder in the first degree . . .” G. S., 14-17, formerly C. S., 4200. See also S. v. Miller, 219 N. C., 514, 14 S. E. (2d), 522, and cases there cited.
