Syllabus

<p>CRIMINAL LAW — CONFESSIONS—RULINGS ON EVIDENCE — REVIEW.</p> <p>1. The fact that the accused was in close confinement at the time did not per se render his statements inadmissible, if otherwise free and voluntary.</p> <p>2. Without a statement of the facts and circumstances of the case, it is impossible for this court to determine whether the ruling of the . trial judge was or was not erroneous.</p> <p>3. Where a bill of exception shows only that a certain question was propounded to a witness,. and was objected to for certain reasons, and the objections were overruled by the court, there is nothing on which to predicate a reversal of the ruling as prejudicial to the accused.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
