1. ““If the ‘reading’ to the jury, by the trial judge, of the written charges given at appellant’s request was not done in a way, or tone of voice, that enabled the jury to ‘hear’ — we will not say that it should have been done in a way that the jury must have ‘comprehended’ — what said charges contained, objection must have been made at the time, with a request that the manner of reading be made to conform to the provisions of the statute (Code 1923, § 9509), and, exception reserved to the refusal,- if there should have been a refusal, of the court to comply with the statute.
