Tlie case on appeal states: “The bill of indictment was returned by the grand jury at .September Term, 1912, and defendant moved for a continuance upon the ground that he was not ready to go, to trial. The solicitor for the State opposed the motion for continuance, and after hearing argument for both sides, the motion for continuance was denied, and defendant excepted.”
