¶1 (dissenting). — I can not concur. If negligent homicide is not in the case this conviction is clearly erroneous. If that question was not an issue, the jury having acquitted of murder, the accused was entitled to an acquittal. The jury were authorized to and did convict under such state of case, of an offense not in the record. J may write later if time affords opportunity.
