25855.
    Moye v. The State.
    Decided September 25, 1936.
    
      W. J. Wallace, for plaintiff in error.
    
      Charles IS. Garrett, solicitor-general, contra.
   Broyles, C. J.

The defendant was convicted of burglary. The evidence tending to connect him with the offense was wholly circumstantial, and, while raising a suspicion against him, was insufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of his guilt. The court erred in refusing . to grant a new trial.

Judgment reversed.

MacIntyre and Guerry, JJ., concur.
