Error to district court, Walsh county; Charles F. Templeton, Judge.

On the trial at which defendant was convicted of murder the prosecuting attorney, in addressing the jury, remarked as to what could be shown if they went outside of the case. Objection was immediately made, and exception granted, and the court charged the jury to consider nothing outside the evidence. As far as appeared from the record, nothing further was done with reference to the remarks of the attorney. Defendant brings error. Affirmed.W. J. Hughes, J. H. Hill, and T. D. O'Brien, for plaintiff in error. Johnson Nickens, Atty. Gen., for defendant in error.

PER CURIAM.

The judgment in this case is affirmed, the court holding that while the question asked the witness Anderson as to whether or not he was drunk was proper cross-examination, yet there was no reversible error, as he was permitted to answer the question, in effect, at another time. The objectionable remarks of the attorney for the prosecution to the jury are not saved by the record so as to be reviewed by this court.

All concur, except Templeton, J., not sitting, and Crofoot, J., not voting.
