The defendant was jointly indicted with George Weems for the ¡murder of L. B. Ridpath. They were separately tried, at the same term of court. Weems was tried and convicted first, and the ¡trial of Hamdl occurred immediately afterward. Weems appealed, and the judgment and sentence against him were affirmed at the present term ¡of this court. State v. Weems, 96 Iowa, 426 (65 N. W. Rep. 387). Nearly all of the questions in this appeal are disposed of in, ithe opinion in the appeal of Weems. The two eases have been considered together, and It will he necessary only to dispose of such questions 'in this case as did not arise to the other.
Objection 'is made to part of the 'Charge -of the court to the jury. The instructions complained of were given on the trial of Weem-s, and the same objections were made in that case. We do not think i»t necessary to give them further consideration than we have in the other ease. Such as are not specially mentioned in- the opinion 'in th-ait appeal do not appear to us to 'have sufficient merit to require discussion. The same may be said -of 'other questions presented on this appeal. The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
