Opinion op the Court by

Creal, Commissioner

Affirming.

Perry Hunt, Charlie Hunt, and three others were jointly indicted in the Pike circuit court for the murder of Pern Dameron. On a separate trial Perry Hunt was found guilty, his punishment fixed at life imprisonment, and he has appealed.

' Only two questions, both relating to the evidence, are raised and argued by appellant’s counsel as ground for reversal. It is urged that the verdict of the jury is not sustained by the evidence, and that the court erred in admitting incompetent evidence on behalf of the commonwealth.
