We have carefully read the evidence in this case,, and, while there is no ■direct evidence of the corpus delicti, there are circumstances in evidence from which the jury might draw a conclusion of guilt. And, in view of the decisions of this court and of the Supreme Court on this question, we must hold that the refusal of the general affirmative charge as requested by the defendant was no.t error. However, in view of the method used by the officers in obtaining the evidence, we are led to say that on the trial the court did not have the benefit of the recent decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States in Gouled v. United States, 255 U. S. 298, 41 Sup. Ct. 261, 65 L. Ed. 647; Amos v. United States, 255 U. S. 313, 41 S. Ct. 266, 65 L. Ed. 654.

[1, 2] The court, over the objection of the defendant, permitted the state to prove that there were fresh tracks leading from defendant’s house when the officers went there to search. These tracks were not shown by any sort of testimony to have been made by defendant, nor was he connected with them in any way, except that they led from his home. This testimony was immaterial, and should have been excluded on defendant’s motion. After this testimony had been admitted, the solicitor, over the timely objection and exception of defendant, was permitted to ask a state’s witness this question:

“Now in answer to a question Mr. Williams asked you, if you saw Tom leavé the house or whether Mr. Todd could have seen him leave, how did the tracks indicate that he left?”

This question assumed as a fact that the tracks testified to were those of the defendant. This was a disputed fact, and the overruling of the defendant’s objection and motion to exclude was reversible error.

The judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
