The opinion states the case.

1Opinion of the Court

MARTIN, Judge.

Offense, murder; penalty, twenty-five years in the penitentiary.

According to the State’s testimony appellant shot June Hilburn three times with a pump shotgun on the streets of Wichita Falls. The State’s testimony indicates that Hilburn was doing nothing at the time which justified the appellant in his action, and without tediously reciting it, the evidence for the State makes out a case of murder.

Appellant’s defense was insanity and he supported same with much cogent testimony, but the record as a whole presented a jury question whose finding we are without authority to disturb.
