111 Ga. 849; 36 S.E. 608; 1900 Ga. LEXIS 820
Silvey v. State

Opinion of the Court

Little, J.

The evidence, at best, only tended to raise a suspicion of the guilt of the defendant, and was not sufficient to support a conviction' of the offense with which he -was charged. The court erred in overruling the motion for a new trial. Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concurring.
