Indictment for murder. Before Judge Mathews. Bibb superior court. April 14, 1914.

1Opinion of the CourtEish, C. J.

1. Where there were four counts in an indictment, all charging the commission of the same felony, hut in different ways, a general verdict of guilty was not contrary to evidence if any one of the counts was supported by proof, and it was not necessary that the verdict specify upon which count it was rendered. Stewart v. State, 58 Ga. 577; Dohme v. State, 68 Ga. 339. See Williams v. State, 69 Ga. 11 (8).

2. On the trial of the accused under such indictment, it was not error, under the circumstances in evidence, for the court in instructing the jury to call attention to the different counts.
