138 S.W. 112; 1911 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 589 (South Western Reporter)

Shaw v. State

Opinion of the Court

HARPER, J.

Appellant was indicted, tried, and convicted of murder in the first degree, and bis punishment assessed at confinement in tbe penitentiary for life.

There are neither bills of exception nor a statement of facts in the record, and the only ground stated in the motion for a new trial is the insufficiency of the evidence to sustain the judgment. Under these circumstances, there is nothing to review. The in-dictinent charges an offense, and the charge submits this offense to the jury.

The judgment is affirmed.
