Walker v. State

Opinion of the Court

HAWKINS, Judge.

Conviction is for felony theft with punishment of two_ years in the penitentiary.

This is a companion case to that of Rowe'Walker, No. 7709, this day decided. The facts in the two cases are practically identical. We find no testimony of any character in the instant case which tends remotely to connect appellant with the offense charged against him outside the testimony of the accomplice witness Howard.

For the same reasons stated in the companion ease the judgment in this case must be reversed and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
