Smith v. State

Opinion of the Court

HAWKINS, Judge.

— Conviction is for theft from the person with an assessed punishment of two years confinement in the penitentiary.

This is a companion ease to No. 6874, A. C. Huckaby v. State, and No. 6876, T. J. Huckaby v. State (opinions delivered April 26th, 1922). The facts in the instant case are identical with those stated in the opinions (supra). This ease must be reversed for insufficient corroboration of the accomplice witness, and the foregoing cases are referred to for a statement of the facts.

The judgment of the trial court is reversed and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
