The only question presented to us by this record challenges the legality of the jury which tried the defendant. Section 32 of the jury laiv (see Gen. & Loc. Acts Sp. Sess. 1909, pp. 305, 320) undoubtedly requires the trial court to fix, by an order, the number of persons which shall constitute the venire *44from which the jury for the trial of a capital felony shall he selected. This number shall not be less than 50. nor more than 100, and shall include the persons drawn and summoned for the week set for the trial of the case.
In the present case the court made an order that 30 ■ special jurors be drawn, and the record shows that the names of the 30 special jurors were thereupon properly drawn from the jury box. This having been done, the court then made the further order requiring the sheriff to summons the 30 persons whose names had been so drawn to appear on the day set for the defendant’s trial, and that “the jurors so drawn from the jury box, together with the petit jurors drawn and summoned for the fourth week of this court, shall constitute the venire from which a jury to try this case shall be selected.”
The above order does not in words fix the particular number of persons who, under the order, were to constitute the defendant’s venire, but it does in fact do so. When the order was made, the number of persons who had been drawn and summoned as jurors for the fourth week was 32, and this number added to 30 special jurors made 62. The number of persons who were to constitute the defendant’s venire was therefore as definitely fixed by the above order as if, in words, the court had fixed the number at 62. The number, therefore, fixed by the court, was definite and certain, was a number which the court was authorized to fix, and the mere failure of the court to say in words, in making the above order, that the number fixed was 62, was of no possible injury to the defendant. — Costello v. State, 58 South. 202, at present term of Alabama Supreme Court. The judgment of the court below is affirmed.
Affirmed.
