Opinion of the Court
The evidence relied upon for the conviction of the accused was wholly circumstantial and was not sufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of his guilt. It follows that his conviction was contrary to. law and the evidence and that the judge erred in overruling the motion for a new trial.
Judgment reversed.
