1. ““Under the provisions of section 20, art. 7, of the State Constitution, a defendant in a felony ease may waive the right to have the facts determined by a jury, and they may be submitted to the judge. In such case, the finding of the judge upon the facts shall have the force and effect of a verdict by a jury. “The credibility of the testimony of defendant and his witnesses, where a jury^is waived, is for the trial court to determine and, although such testimony may^be uncontradicted and not directly impeached, when circumstances tend to lessen the probability that such testimony is true, the trial court may give it such -weight as he may deem proper, or wholly disregard it.””
