7 S.E.2d 189; 61 Ga. App. 624; 1940 Ga. App. LEXIS 198
(South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)
Thompson v. State
Opinion of the Court
The accused was convicted of the offense of fornication and adultery. The evidence tending to connect her with such a crime was wholly circumstantial, and, while raising a strong suspicion of her . guilt, was not sufficient to exclude every other reasonable hypothesis. The verdict was unauthorized, and the refusal' to grant a new trial was error.
Judgment reversed.
