Syllabus

<p>1. Testimony of the contents of letters from a disinterested person to a witness testifying in the trial of a defendant upon a criminal charge is heresay and inadmissable.</p> <p>2. Where there is substantial competent evidence in the record of all the facts legally essential to support the verdict, and there is nothing to indicate that the Jury were not governed by the evidence, the refusal of the Trial Court to grant a new trial, on the ground of the insufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict, will not be disturbed by the Appellate Court.</p>
