Willie Hoyt Jones was convicted of voluntary manslaughter. His motion for new trial was overruled and he appeals. Held:
1. The general grounds are without merit.
2. It was not error to admit, as a part of the res gestae, a statement made by defendant’s mother, who had witnessed the stabbing, made to a neighbor to whose house she had gone within a few minutes after the event, while in a highly nervous and excited condition, that “I am in trouble. Willie stabbed Bob. I don’t know why.” The Willie referred to was her son, the defendant, and the Bob referred to was the deceased, who had been stabbed with a butcher knife in a bedroom of her home and had died at the steps when leaving the house.

4. All other enumerations are deemed abandoned, since none of them is argued or supported by citation of authority in the brief.
Judgment affirmed.
