McEntyre v. State

Opinion of the Court

Luke, J.

The ionvietion was dependent wholly upon circumstantial evidence, and the evidence was not sufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of the guilt of the accused. It was therefore error to overrule the motion for a new trial.

Judgment reversed.

Broyles, O. J., and Bloodworth, J., concur. M. B. Eubanks, for plaintiff in error. - J ames Maddox, solicitor, cohtra.
