On an appeal from the verdict of a jury and the sentence of Criminai District Court, the Supreme Court is not vested with authority to review the facts-by Article 94 of the Constitution of 1898.</p> <p>3. The court declined to review questions of facts and examine the testimony reduced to writing, and made part of the transcript, for the purpose of determining whether the testimony authorized a conviction or the refusal of a new trial.</p> <p>4. Jurors may separate for a few minutes in cases of necessity, when placed in charge of an officer who has them under his eye, and does not suffer them, to speak to any one.</p>
