People v. Jugigo, Id. 630; People v. Cignarale, 110 id. 23; People v. Kelly, 113 id. 647.)

"This condition of the record leaves but one question open to us to examine, and that is whether the evidence discloses any just reason why the judgment of the court below should not be enforced. In reviewing the evidence in such a case this court has frequently laid down the rule that we shall be governed by the practice regulating appeals to the Supreme Court in dealing with questions of fact. This practice regards the jury as the ultimate tribunal for the investigation and determination of questions of fact, and, unless there are circumstances indicating some partiality, mistake, error or preju dice on their part, to regard their findings on disputed and conflicting evidence as conclusive. (People v. Cignarale, supra; People v. Kelly, supra.)

"A careful perusal of the evidence in this case leads us to the conviction that the jury have made no mistake in their verdict."

After a full consideration of the evidence the court say:

"Sufficient has been related of the circumstances of this crime to show that the jury were not only justified in their verdict, but were compelled to the conclusion which it indicated.

"We are, therefore, of the opinion that the ends of justice require us to approve the verdict of the jury and affirm the judgment appealed from."
