HAWKINS, Judge.

Conviction is for murder without malice; punishment being ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‍three years in the penitentiary..

The prosecution originated in Kinney county, but the trial was in Val Verde county ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‍on a change of venue.

Exception was reserved to the court’s refusal to give a peremptory instruction to acquit ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‍; likewise we find in the record many objections to the court’s charge. No statement of facts is ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‍found in the record. Manifestly, in the absence of the facts, the complaints adverted to cannot be appraised.

No ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‍error is apparent from the record.

The judgment is affirmed.
