Fletcher
Cunningham v. State
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
We do not think the proof as to separation of the juror Grady from his fellows is sufficient to reverse this case. It was said in Skales v. State, 64 Miss. 645, 1 South. 843, 60 Am. Rep.
Though we are earnestly urged to reverse the case on the facts, after a careful consideration of the evidence, we do not feel justified in disturbing the verdict of the jury.
Affirmed.
