Syllabus

<p>Criminal law — Trials—Improper remarles of counsel — Motion for continuance — Refusal.</p> <p>The refusal of'a motion for continuance, based upon improper ' remarks by the district attorney in his address to the jury, is not reversible error, where it appears that the remarks, complained of were called forth as a retort to remarks made by defendant’s counsel, and where it further appears that defendant’s rights were sufficiently protected by the trial judge in his charge to the jury.</p>
