No. 10,483.
    Peacher v. The State.
    Supreme Court. — Onminal Lam. — Evidence.—The Supreme Court will reverse a judgment of conviction in a criminal case when the evidence in the record is totally insufficient to support it.
    From the Orange Circuit Court.
    
      T. B. Buskirk, for appellant.
    
      F. T. Hord, Attorney General, and H. C. Duncan, Prosecuting Attorney, for the State.
   Woods, C. J.

The appellant was convicted upon an indictment for open and notorious fornication, under section 21 of the act defining misdemeanors. 2 R. S. 1876, p. 466. We find the evidence in the record totally insufficient to support the conviction.

Judgment reversed, and cause remanded with instructions to grant a new trial.
