Worthan v. State

Opinion of the Court

Broyles, C. J.

While the evidence connecting the defendant with the offense charged (simple-larceny) was wholly circumstantial, it was sufficient to authorize the jury 'to find that it excluded every reasonable hypothesis save that of his guilt; and the overruling of the motion for a new trial (based upon the general grounds only) was not error.

Judgment affirmed.

Luke, J., concurs. Blood-worth, J., absent on account of illness.
