Opinion of the Court

Broyles, C. J.

Tlie evidence relied upon" for the conviction of tile defendant was entirely circumstantial and did not exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of his guilt. The court, therefore, erred in overruling the motion for a new trial.

Judgment reversed.

Luke and Bloodivorth, JJ., concur. M. L. Harris, McClure & McClure, for plaintiff in error, J. M. Lang, solicitor-general, contra.
