CARR, Presiding Judge.
The accused in this case was indicted ■on a charge denounced by Title 22, § 256, Code 1940.
Appellant’s attorney made a motion for 3. continuance of the case on the grounds that he had not had sufficient time and opportunity to prepare for trial.
The defendant was arrested on December 28, 1951. The indictment was returned January 25, 1952. The trial of the cause was set for March 14, 1952.
