Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. where a juror is challenged for cause hy the State, and the challenge is sustained over the objection of the accused, the latter has no legal ground of complaint where his bill of exceptions does not show he had exhausted, or did exhaust, before the jury was made up, his peremptory challenges, and, in consequence, he had been compelled, later, by reason of the earlier aption of the court in sustaining the objection of the State to the juror in question, to accept an obnoxious juror.</p> <p>2. A ruling of the trial judge that certain testimony offered by the accused is irrelevant will not be disturbed where nothing appears in the bill of exceptions exposing or explaining the connection necessary to show its relevancy.</p> <p>3. Declarations made by a defendant in his own favor, unless part of the res gestae, are not admissible in his behalf.</p>
