Hicks v. State

Opinion of the Court

DAVIDS OH, Judge.

—Appellant was convicted for the abandonment of his wife and failure to support her.

The testimony for the State is sufficient to support the verdict. The testimony introduced on the part of appellant refutes the charge in the indictment and contradicts the testimony for the State. This was a matter for the jury, and this court would not feel justified in reversing on account of the conflict in the testimony. Therefore, the judgment will have to be affirmed.

Affirmed.
