1Opinion of the Court
White, Presiding Judge.
This appeal is from a judgment of conviction for murder in the second degree. Twenty errors are assigned for reversal, and they relate, first, to the exclusion of evidence; second, to errors in the charge of the court to the jury; third, to the refusal of special requested instructions in behalf of defendant; fourth, to the insufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict; and, fifth, to the overruling of defendant’s motion for a new trial. We do not propose to discuss all these assigned errors, but will select those which are, in our opinion, the most important.
