Due to some disturbances in which they were involved, the police were called, the defendant and her companion were arrested, and warrants issued. The police officer in charge of the investigation testified as to the confession of the appellant. The appellant contends the confession was unsupported and, therefore, not sufficient to convict. However, the record does not bear out the appellant\u2019s contention. The evidence corroborating the confession was ample. The confession and the corroborating evidence made out a strong ease.\nNo error.",
