The defendant was convicted of the offense of stealing an automobile — a' felony. There was no evidence, except that of Jim Berry, which directly connected the defendant with the offense charged. Berry’s testimony as to whether he (Berry) had stolen the automobile in question was self-contradictory, but would have authorized the jury to find that he had committed that offense. His testimony connecting the defendant with the crime was uncorroborated by any other evidence directly connecting the accused with the offense. Under these circumstances the court erred in failing to submit to the jury, under proper instructions, the question whether, under the evidence adduced, the witness Berry was an accomplice of the defendant in the theft of the automobile. It follows that the refusal to grant a new trial was error.

Judgment reversed.
