Opinion

Bloodwobth, J.

In the trial of a criminal ease the jurors are the only and final arbiters of the facts, and when a ease reaches this court, where no error of law has been committed on the trial and the trial judge has approved the verdict, and it is supported by any evidence, however slight, this court is powerless to interfere. The verdict is supported by evidence and is approved by the trial judge.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, O. J., and Luke, J., concur.
