MORRISON, Presiding Judge.

¶1■ The offense is murder; the punishment, 25 years.

¶2The deceased was shot from across the street as he stood at the front of a tavern, near closing time.

¶3On the following day the appellant presented himself ■ at the Criminal Courts *652Building' and offered to show the officers where he had thrown the pistol which he had used to shoot the deceased.
