Higgins v. State

114 Ga. 538; 40 S.E. 737; 1902 Ga. LEXIS 714

Higgins v. State

Opinion of the Court

Lumpkin, P. J.

The evidence, though entirely circumstantial, was sufficient to show beyond a reasonable doubt and to the exclusion of every other rational hypothesis that the accused committed the crime with which he was charged. This being so, and there being no complaint that any error, of law was committed at the trial, this court will not interfere with the judgment denying a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concurring.
