Jones v. State
110 Ga. 252
Ga.
1899
Check Treatment
Fish, J.

Where, upon the trial of one charged with stabbing, counsel for the accused, in his argument to the jury, asserted that if the prosecutor applied a certain vile epithet to the accused he would be justified in killing the prosecutor, it was not erroneous for the pre- . siding judge to interpose and state in the presence of the jury that there was no such law — that no opprobrious words, or abusive language, could justify a man in killing another.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concurring.
