Beck, P. J.

Will, alias Flig, Goosby was indicted for the murder of ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍his wife, Gussie Goosby, and upon the trial was .convicted and sentenced.to be executed. The accused made a motion for new trial, ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍which was overruled, and he excepted. The original motion contained the usual general grounds, that the verdict was contrary to law and the ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍evidence and without evidence to support it; and the amendment to the motion contained certain special grounds, which are ruled upon in ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍the foregoing headnotes. The rulings there made are not novel, and relate to questions which *499liave been adjudicated previously by this .court; and ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍it is therefore unnecessary to elaborate them.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concur, except Fish, G. J., and Beck, P. J., dissenting.
