DAVIDSON, Judge.

¶1Under an indictment charging that appellant killed her husband with malice aforethought, she was convicted of -murdering' him without malice. Punishment was assessed at five years in the penitentiary.

¶2Both parties had been drinking, during which time the deceased slapped appellant. The killing resulted.

¶3The jury rejected appellant’s defensive theory but accepted the testimony showing murder without malice.

¶4We have examined the record before us and fail to find that reversible error was committed in the trial of the case.

¶5We are favored with no brief on the part of the appellant.

¶6The judgment is affirmed.
