““Under our constitution (Art. 7 § 23) judges are forbidden to charge juries as to the facts; and we have held that for a trial judge to communicate to the jury in any way his opinion, as to the merits of the contention of either party on a fact question, is error. Hinson v. State, 133 Ark. 149 , 201 S. W. 811 ; Williams v. State, 175 Ark. 752 , 2 S. W. 2d 36 .””
