1. ““ * * * We further observe the Record reveals that the defendant did not raise the question of venue in the trial court nor did he request an instructed verdict, because of insufficient proof of venue. In Morris v. State, Okl.Cr., 363 P.2d 377 (1961), we stated: ‘The constitutional right to be tried in the county in which an offense is committed is a personal privilege which may be waived. In re Poston, Okl.Cr., 281 P.2d 776 and general 14 Am.Jur. § 233, page 30. ‘Where it is apparent that the court and the jurors have personal knowledge of the places named by different witnesses, tending to show that the offense was committed within the county of trial, and defendant decides to challenge the venue, he should request an instructed verdict because of insufficient proof of venue and move for a new trial on that ground in order that the trial court may determine the issue.’ “In the instant case, the defendant’s failure to properly raise the question of the venue in the trial court precludes his raising the same for the first time on appeal.””
