WADDILL, Commissioner.
The appellant, Mrs. Jess (Clara) Dodd, was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to the state reformatory for women for a term of 21 years.
On this appeal she urges four grounds for a reversal of her conviction: (1) abuse of discretion in denying her motion for a continuance; (2) insufficient evidence to support the conviction; (3) error in limiting the effect of certain testimony; and (4) erroneous instructions.
