trial court as to murder in the second degree was erroneous and that error was committed in not sustaining an objection of the defendant to certain testimony of Charlie Noegel.
We do not think either assignment is well grounded. There was ample evidence in the record to support the verdict and judgment and the law is well settled that a jury may return a verdict of murder in the second degree on an indictment charging murder in the first degree.
Affirmed.
