Opinion
On the bearing, the ease resolved itself into a disputed issue of fact determinable alone by the jury. Tbe State’s evidence taken in its most favorable light was amply sufficient to survive the demurrer. The defendant’s evidence, if believed, would require an acquittal. The jury accepted the State’s version of the matter. See S. v. Kelly, 227 N.C. 62, 40 S.E. 2d 454.
The exceptions to the charge present no new question of law or one not heretofore considerd in prior decisions. The instruction that the defendant “has a direct interest in your verdict . . . more interest than any other witness,” etc., finds direct support in the case of S. v. Davis, 209 N.C., 242, 183 S.E. 420.
No reversible error having been made to appear, the verdict and judgment will be upheld.
No error.
