Syllabus

<p>1. Trial courts, in the exercise of a sound judicial discretion, have power to excuse one summoned as a juror, although he may be qualified to serve, and parties interested object, and appellate courts will not interfere with the action of the trial court in this respect, unless the discretion be abused.</p> <p>2. It is proper to refuse instructions as misleading when they are based on the theory of a party as to facts in evidence and ignore the legal effect of other facts applicable to the relation and rights of the parties.</p> <p>3. Evidence examined and found sufficient to support the verdict.</p>
