Alexander v. State

The charge is rape upon a female child 13 years of age. Judgment upon the verdict of guilty. The only error sought to be presented is the overruling of appellant's motion for a new 1. trial. Upon this assigned error, the giving of an instruction to the jury, alleged to be erroneous, is sought to be presented. Neither this instruction, nor any of the instructions, is in the record by a bill of exceptions. The instruction is not before the court for consideration. Smith v.State (1926), 198 Ind. 614, 154, N.E. 370; McNaught v.State (1924), 194 Ind. 209, 142 N.E. 418; Gillespie v.State (1924), 194 Ind. 154, 142 N.E. 220; Patton v. State (1922), 192 Ind. 632, 135 N.E. 795.

The new trial was also sought because of newly discovered evidence, which cause was supported by affidavits. The question is not presented on appeal because the affidavits are not 2. brought into the record by a bill of exceptions. Alyea v. State (1926), 198 Ind. 364, 370, 371, 153 N.E. 775;Perfect v.
