113 Ga. 289; 38 S.E. 826; 1901 Ga. LEXIS 232
McConnell v. State

Opinion of the Court

Cobb, J.

Under the evidence disclosed by the record, a verdict for assault with intent to murder was unauthorized. Taking the testimony most strongly against the accused, it did not warrant a conviction for any higher offense than that of stabbing.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concurring, except Lewis, J., absent.
