Also complaining that the evidence is not sufficient to support the conviction.

Hone of these matters can he reviewed in the absence of a statement of facts and bill of exceptions. The exceptions to the charge as given by the court can not be revised or intelligently discussed even without a statement of facts. The court’s charge may have been sufficient under the evidence viewed in the light of the allegations and indictment.
