Gayton v. State

Gayton v. State

Opinion of the Court

Broyles, C. J.

The sole assignment of error in the bill of exceptions is upon the overruling of the motion for a new trial based on the usual general grounds only. The evidence amply authorized the verdict and was sufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of the defendant’s guilt. The cases cited in the brief of counsel for the plaintiff in error are easily distinguishable by their particular facts from this case.

Judgment affirmed.

Luke and Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
