¶1The only ground taken in the motion for a new trial is that the verdict is contrary to law and the evidence. The evidence is conflicting. If the two witnesses sworn for the State are worthy of credit, the evidence is sufficient to authorize the verdict of the jury. The trial judge was satisfied with the finding, and overruled the motion for a new trial; and we will not interfere with his discretion. Judgment affirmed.
