Syllabus

<p>Homicide. Refusal of manslaughter instruction held not error.</p> <p>In a trial for murder it is not error to refuse a manslaughter instruction requested by the defendant, based on evidence that deceased had insulted defendant’s wife, and threatened defendant’s life if the wife told it, and that she did tell her husband of the conduct and threat, where the evidence clearly shows that the killing was about other matters, and nothing was said about the matter at the time of the killing by either party.</p>
