STONE, C. J.

The defendant was tried and convicted for ‍‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‍obtaining money under false pretenses. He offered testimony tending the show, that, two or three weeks after the ‍‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‍money was obtained, he offered to repay it, with some interest. This testimony was ruled out, and he ‍‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‍excepted.

The testimony could not tend to disprove anything alleged against the defendant, nor was it part of the res gestee, ‍‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‍so as to shed light on the intent with which he uttered the pretense, alleged to be false ‍‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‍and fraudulent. There is no error in the record.

Affirmed.
