1. “Crooms” and “Grooms” are idem sonans, and the court did not err in instructing the jury that they are sueh as a matter of law. Woody v. State, 113 Ga. 927 (39 S.E. 297" date_filed="1901-07-20" court="Ga." case_name="Woody v. State">39 S. E. 297).
2. From the evidence for the State, none being introduced by the de- • fendant, it appears that the defendant struck the decedent on the head with an ax, inflicting a mortal wound; and it appears that there - was no provocation for the homicide, except certain insulting and opprobrious words used by the decedent to the defendant. Held, that the omission of a charge on the subject of voluntary manslaughter was not error. Judgment affirmed.
