Affirmed · Decided 1906-05-25

Messrs. Justices Jones and Woods,

¶1 concurring. In our opinion the order of Judge Gage refusing a new trial involved only questions of fact, the decision of which was in his discretion, and the order, therefore, was not appealable. For this reason we think the motion to> dismiss the appeal should have been granted. But the other Justices being of a different opinion, and the motion to dismiss having, therefore, failed, we now concur in refusing' the motions made in behalf of defendant, and in affirming the judgment of the Circuit Court.
