Taylor v. State.
    (Division A.
    March 11, 1940.)
    [194 So. 589.
    No. 34074.]
    S. E. Turner and J. Crawford Neill, both of Carollton, for appellant.
    
      W. D. Conn, Jr., Assistant Attorney-General, for appellee.
   Smith, C. J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

This is an appeal from a conviction of murder. The evidence would support a conviction of manslaughter, but does not support a conviction of murder; consequently, the court erred in not granting the appellant’s request for an instruction limiting his conviction to manslaughter.

Reversed and remanded.
