Calhoun v. State

Opinion of the Court

Hill, C. J.

The evidence in this case is wholly circumstantial, and the circumstances relied on to support the verdict are-too inconclusive for that purpose, and do not exclude every other reasonable hypothesis than that of the guilt of the accused. Judgment reversed.

M. F. Adams, Boy D. Stubbs, for plaintiff in error. Joseph E. Pottle, solicitor-general, contra.
