OPINION TEXT STARTS HERE
Appeal from Criminal Court, Marion County; James A. Collins, Judge.
On petition for rehearing. Petition overruled.
For former opinion, see 127 N. E. 441.
Jackiel W. Joseph and Henry Abrams, both of Indianapolis, for appellant.
Appellant in his petition for rehearing insists that section 3 of ch. 143, p. 523, Acts of 1917, requires this court to consider the case upon its merits, although appellant failed to comply with section 5 of rule 22 of this court (55 N. E. vi), which requires that the briefs shall set out a concise statement of so much of the record as presents every error and exception relied on. In other words, he contends that by statute the Legislature abolished the rule named. In his brief he says:

See Elliott's Appellate Procedure, § 7; Smythe v. Boswell, 117 Ind. 365, 20 N. E. 263; Ex parte Griffiths, 118 Ind. 83, 20 N. E. 513, 3 L. R. A. 398, 10 Am. St. Rep. 107. In Parkison v. Thompson, 164 Ind. 609, 73 N. E. 109, 3 Ann. Cas. 677, cited by appellant, the court, in discussing a statute relative to the consideration of the evidence on appeal, said:
