23274.
    Leatherwood v. The State.
    Decided August 4, 1933.
    
      Waller Matthews, for plaintiff in error.
    
      S. W. Ragsdale, solicitor-general, contra.
   Broyles, C. J.

The circumstantial evidence relied upon for a conviction was not sufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of the guilt of the accused; and the court erred in overruling the motion for a new trial.

Judgment reversed.

MacIntyre and Querry, JJ., concur.
