1. Overruling the motion to continue in this ease because of the absence of a witness was a proper exercise of discretion.

2. The charge of the court submitted the law of the ease as construed by the Supreme Court in Nichols v. State, 103 Ga. 61 (29 S. E. 431), and Minter v. State, 104 Ga. 743 (30 S. E. 989) ; and the exceptions to excerpts therefrom are without merit. The evidence supports the verdict.

Judgment affirmed.
