OPINION OF THE COURT
Appellant was tried and convicted upon an indictment charging him with unlawfully and feloniously making an assault with a pistol upon one Manuel Gallegos. .
The single proposition relied upon by him for reversal of the case,is the insufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict. In this connection, we have carefully read the record and are unable to sustain this contention. The prosecuting witness, Manuel Gallegos, testified that appellant cursed him, drew an automatic pistol from his pocket, aimed it at the breast of said witness, and then threatened to kill him; that thereupon a bystander, Severo Lucero, interceded and finally took the pistol from the appellant. In practically every detail .this witness is coroborated by the said Severo Lucero. The appellant and one other person testified in his behalf. The evidence contradicted that of the prosecution, thereby making a straight issue for the jury to determine. It has been often declared by this court that, where there is substantial evidence to support the verdict, it will not be disturbed on ap*393peal. It is the duty of the jury to determine the facts, while it is the function of this court to correct errors of law. State v. Whitener, 25 N. M. 20, 175 Pac. 870; State v. Jaramillo, 25 N. M. 288, 180 Pac. 286; State v. Wilson 25 N. M. 439, 184 Pac. 531.
There being substantial evidence in the record to support the verdict, the sentence imposed thereon being within the limits of the statute which was violated, and that being the only question presented, the judgment of the trial should be affirmed, and it is so ordered:
