1Opinion of the Court
PREWETT, P. J., pro tem.
A jury convicted the appellant of the crime of perjury. He appeals upon the ground chiefly that the evidence is insufficient to convict. The indictment charges that the appellant testified falsely in making certain answers to questions propounded to him while being examined on voir dire as a prospective juror in a criminal case in which one Fuski was being tried for a felony. These questions and answers are as follows:
“Question: If you are chosen as a juror in this ease, you will try this case solely upon the evidence produced in court and the instructions of the court?
