Vaughn v. State

Opinion of the Court

Broyles, C. J.

The evidence in this case was wholly circumstantial and did not exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of the defendant’s guilt. The court, therefore, erred in overruling the motion for a new trial. Judgment reversed.

Luke and Bloodworth, JJ., concur. Tyson & Tyson, for plaintiff in error. J. Saxton Daniel, contra.
