No error. ' '\nThis is a criminal action in which the defendant was convicted by a jury of driving an automobile upon the public highways of the State, while under the influence of intoxicating liquor in violation of the State statute.\nThe State introduced evidence tending to show these facts. D. R. Emory, a State Highway Patrolman, was called to the scene of a collision of an automobile with the guy wire of a telephone pole on U. S. Highway No. 70, near Jones\u2019 Barbecue Cafe, about two miles east of Raleigh. Upon his arrival at the scene about 1:00 a. m., 8 August 1953, he saw the defendant staggering in -the center of the highway; he had the odor of alcohol on his breath, and was intoxicated. The patrolman got him off .the highway, and placed him under arrest. Jones\u2019 Cafe and house stood side by side. Defendant\u2019s automobile was in the yard of Jones\u2019 house up against the guy wire of a telephone pole. There were signs on its bumper it had struck something. A tree in the yard had had bark recently knocked off it. There were automobile tracks from the highway through the yard of the Cafe, into the yard of the house, to the tree, and guy wire of a telephone pole where the automobile had stopped. The defendant said he was driving the automobile about 30 miles per hour. On the way to jail he began .crying, and begged the patrolman not to charge him with driving while under the influence, saying he had been up once before; that he was not driving; that someone else was driving; but he didn\u2019t know who was driving, nor where the driver was at the time. Upon arrival at the County J ail the defendant was very much upset, and wanted to plead guilty right then, and pay off. He was told he could not be tried then.\nThe defendant offered no evidence.\nSentence was pronounced on the verdict, and the defendant appealed, assigning error.\nHarry McMullan, Attorney G-eneral, and T.
