Syllabus

<p>1. Granting a continuance is discretionary with the trial court.</p> <p>2. Where it appeared that defendant’s presence ,was not essential to a proper defense, that he would not have been physically able to be present for some time, and that his deposition might have been taken, and where it was admitted that defendant, if present, would testify as alleged in the affidavit for a continuance, its refusal was not an abuse of discretion.</p>
