He was tried before a jury, and convicted, and appealed to this court.\nThere was evidence to sustain the verdict of the jury. It is unsatisfactory, as it appears to us. But the judge of the trial court and the jury, who heard it, had better opportunities than we have to know the weight to which it was entitled, and they evidently considered it sufficient. We will not, therefore, disturb the verdict on account of it.\nAppellant says that he was surprised by the testimony of a witness who testified in behalf of the state. But ha made no \u201capplication for a postponement of the trial, in order that he might repair the damage done him by the unexpected testimony.\u201d He took his \u201cchance of a verdict in his favor in spite of the surprise, without an effort to repair the injury while yet he may,\u201d and \u201cmust abide his election to stand the hazard of the verdict.\u201d Nickens v.
