The defendant did not take the witness stand, and offered no evidence in his behalf.

15 days to brief. On July 2, 1930, defendant was given 30 days additional time in which to file brief. No briefs have been filed on behalf of defendant, and no appearance was made for oral argument.

Upon a careful examination of the record, we find no errors depriving defendant of any substantial rights.

The evidence being sufficient to support the verdict, the cause is affirmed.
