Watson v. State

Opinion of the Court

Russell, J.

Tlie evidence did not authorize the conviction of the defendant. Mere proof of general reputation to that effect will not authorize the conviction of one accused of the offense of keeping a lewd house. The decision in this case is controlled by the rulings of this court in Jones v. State, 2 Ga. App. 433 (58 S. E. 559), and Coleman v. State, 5 Ga. App. 366 (63 S. E. 244). The court erred in refusing a new trial.

Judgment reversed.
