1Opinion of the CourtGardner, P. J.

The defendant was tried for murder and convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the lulling of his son, Henry Davis, Jr. A motion for a new trial was filed on the statutory grounds and thereafter three special grounds were added. Since the case is being reversed on a special ground, we will not discuss the general grounds.

1. Special ground 1 assigns error because the charge of the court was misleading to the jury. This assignment of error is without merit.
