15172.
    Scott v. The State.
    Decided April 16, 1924.
    Conviction of burglary; from Houston superior court — Judge Malcolm D. Jones. October 27, 1923.
    
      Norman E. English, for plaintiff in error.
    
      Charles H. Garrett, solicitor-general, contra.
   Luke, J.

The conviction of the defendant being dependent upon the evidence of an accomplice, and there being no corroborating circumstances which in themselves and independently of the testimony of the accomplice directly connect him with the crime, it was error to overrule his motion for a new trial. See Baker v. State, 14 Ga. App. 578 (4) (81 S. E. 805), and cases cited.

Judgment reversed.

Broyles, G. J., and Blood/worth, J., concur.
