BRICKEN, P. J.

¶1 The indictment contained three counts. The verdict of the jury was guilty as charged in count 1 of the indictment. This verdict operated as an acquittal of the defendant of the charges against him contained in the second and third counts of the indictment. The rulings of the court, *423 therefore, which relate to the offenses contained or charged in the second and third counts only, need not be discussed or considered, the defendant, as stated, having been acquitted of the charges in said counts.

¶2 The first count, under which he was convicted, charged that in the presence or hearing of a woman he made use of abusive, insulting, or obscene language. The state offered' evidence tending to sustain said charge. The defendant offered evidence to the contrary. Thus a jury question was presented, and the rulings of the court so far as related to the charge contained in the first count were so clearly free from error they need no discussion here. The simplest and most elementary propositions of law are involved.

¶3 Under the evidence in this case, it being in direct conflict, the defendant was not entitled to the general affirmative charge, arid the court properly refused it.

¶4 The record proper is regular and free from error.

¶5 Let the judgment of the circuit court in this case stand affirmed.

¶6 Allirmed.
