    Ford v. The State.
    Criminal Law, 16 C. J. p. 1179, n. 69.
    Decided March 3, 1926.
    Conviction of possession of liquor; from city court of Carrollton —Judge Hood. October 2, 1925.
    
      Beall & Beall, for plaintiff in error.
    
      Emmett Smith, solicitor, contra.
   Luke, J.

Ford was convicted of violating the prohibition statute. The

evidence, while raising a strong suspicion of the defendant’s guilt, was not, in our opinion, sufficient to authorize his conviction. For this reason the court erred in overruling his motion for a new trial.

Judgment reversed.
