Opinion of the Court

Bloodworth, J.

This case is controlled by the principles announced in Butler v. State, 17 Ga. App. 522 (87 S. E. 812), and the cases therein cited. Eliminating from this case the testimony of the accomplice, there is left no evidence to connect the accused with the perpetration of the offense and leading to the inference of his guilt. The court erred in overruling the motion for a new trial.

Judgment reversed.

Broyles, G. J., amd Lulce, J., concur.
