Opinion of the Court

Russell, J.

The proof of the corpus delicti in this ease was insufficient to authorize a conviction. The evidence was insufficient to overcome the presumption of the law that the burning was accidental. Ragland v. State, 2 Ga. App. 492 (58 S. E. 689). Judgment reversed.

Citations by counsel: 6 Ga. App, 105; Ga. B. 43/256; 57/482: 103/430; 109/516; 111/139; 118/320; 119/118; 120/499, 503; 125/741.
