HAWKINS, Judge.

Conviction is for assault with intent to murder, punishment assessed at five years in the penitentiary.

Appellant and J. Greenwood were neighbors. A stray dog seems to have taken up at Greenwood’s house and appellant desired Greenwood to kill it, fearing it might go mad as a result of having been bitten by a civet cat.
