070rehearing
ON MOTION FOR REHEARING.
In this cause the statement of facts is in the same condition as that in our No. 22481, S. E. Williams v. State, in which a motion for a rehearing by the appellant was this day overruled. (Page 634 of this volume) For the reasons therein set forth, which apply with equal force to the present statement of facts, we cannot consider the same. There are no bills of exceptions that can be appraised without such statement.
The motion will therefore be overruled.

The record before us contains a number of bills of exception complaining of the action of the trial court in several respects, but the statement of facts is in question and answer form. This is contrary to the form prescribed by the statute. See Art. 760, C. C. P., Vernon’s Ann. Tex. C. C. P., Vol. 3; also Villalva v. State, 151 S. W. (2d) 222; Hunter v. State, 165 S. W. (2d) 998; Green v. State, 167. S. W. (2d) 532. Hence we cannot consider the statement of facts, in the absence of which we cannot properly appraise the bills of exception. Consequently there is nothing presented for review which requires discussion. Therefore the judgment of the trial court is in all things affirmed.
The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the Court.
