Horton J. Greene, Alpharetta, for appellant.
Lewis R. Slaton, Dist. Atty., Joseph J. Drolet, Donald G. Frost, Asst. Dist. Attys., Atlanta, for appellee.
1. A motion to suppress evidence which is made orally is procedurally defective and a denial thereof is authorized. Code Ann. § 27-313(b); Graves v. State, 135 Ga.App. 921, 219 S.E.2d 633.
2. Appellant complains of a portion of the District Attorney's closing argument. However, no objection was made at trial, and no reversible error appears. Gerdine v. State, 136 Ga.App. 561, 562(3), 222 S.E.2d 128.
3. The evidence authorized the guilty verdict, and the general grounds of the motion for new trial are without merit.
Judgment affirmed.
