Defendant was charged with murder, found guilty of manslaughter, and sentenced to serve 10 years in the penitentiary.
There are six bills of exceptions in the record:
Bills of exceptions 1 and 2: These two bills of exceptions were taken to the rulings of the court in refusing to sustain challenges to jurors made by defendant for cause. Two jurors had answered the district attorney, while being examined on their voir dire, that they had conscientious scruples against the infliction of the death penalty. The district attorney accepted the jurors; but defendant challenged them for cause.
