1. Irrespective of the evidence of the deputy sheriff, which-was introduced for the purpose of impeaching the testimony of the defendant’s witness, Winifred Moore, who had pleaded guilty to the robbery and in effect hald testified that he committed the robbery by himself, there was sufficient evidence to authorize the jury to find that the defendant and Winifred Moore associated themselves in a joint unlawful enterprise, to wit, robbery, and that the robbery was done in pursuance and furtherance of the conspiracy. Adams v. State, 51 Ga. App. 30 (179 S. E. 417).

3. The evidence authorized the verdict.

Judgment affirmed.
