    The State of Washington, Respondent, v. L. H. Pruitt, Appellant.
      
    
    Appeal from a judgment of the superior court for Grant county, Hill, J., entered September 15, 1922, upon a trial and conviction of assault.

      N. W. "Washington, for appellant.
    
      
      Reported in 221 Pac. 1119.
    
   Per Curiam.

After reading the affidavits presented in behalf of a motion for a new trial, showing the separation of the jury on two or three occasions, we are satisfied the motion should have been granted. The judgment is therefore reversed, with directions to grant the defendant a new trial.
