¶1Under the principles declared in Jones v. State, 67 Ala. 84, and reaffirmed in Parker v. State, 77 Ala. 47, it must be held that no error was committed in the exclusion of testimony offered in behalf of defendant.
¶2The evidence if entitled to be believed, proved every act essential to establish the defendant’s guilt. Therefore, the giving of the charge requested by the State was not erroneous.
¶3No error appearing in the record, the judgment must be affirmed.
