66 Miss. 532

Hinson v. State

Opinion of the Court

Cooper, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

We find no error in the record. The evidence of what is called antecedent threats was properly excluded on two, grounds:

*537First, because what is called a threat was no threat and, second, because no overt act is shown which would have justified its introduction in evidence if it had been a threat.

Judgment affirmed.
