C. Code of 1935, section 2621 (44).\nThere was no error in the admission of evidence tending to corroborate the testimony of witnesses for the State. Statements made by these witnesses at the coroner\u2019s inquest were competent as evidence tending to corroborate the testimony of the witnesses at the trial. See S. v. Exum, 138 N. C., 599, 50 S. E., 283.\nThe verdict appearing in the record, although on its face not sufficient to support the judgment, interpreted in the light of all the evidence, and of admissions made in the case on appeal, was sufficient for that purpose. See S. v. Whitley, 208 N. C., 661, 182 S. E., 338.\nThe judgment is affirmed.\nNo error.",
