The evidence is overwhelming and conclusive as to his guilt. Indeed, he was greatly favored by the jury in rendering a verdict for 'the lesser offense. His rights were all safeguarded by the lower court and he had a fair trial. No reason exists why the verdict should be disturbed, and the judgment is, therefore, affirmed.
