Opinion of the Court

Townsend, J.

West v. State, 66 Ga. App. 550 (18 S. E. 2d, 500); Wagoner v. State, 52 Ga. App. 379 (183 S. E. 209).

Judgment affirmed.

Gardner, P.J., and Carlisle, J., concur.

*786A motion for a new trial on the general grounds only was overruled, and this judgment is assigned as error.
