13128.
    Shahan v. The State.
    Decided March 8, 1922.
    Indictment for making liquor; from Walker superior court — Judge Wright. November 9, 1921.
    
      F. W. Copeland, Henry & Jackson, R. M. W. Glenn, D. F. Pope, G. E. Maddox, for plaintiff in error.
    
      E. S. Taylor, solicitor-general, J. F. Kelly, contra.
   Luke, J.

The defendant was convicted of the offense of manufacturing liquor. His conviction was dependent entirely upon circumstantial evidence. A careful examination of the entire record convinces us that his conviction was not authorized. It is not necessary to consider the special grounds of the motion for a new trial. It was error to overrule the motion for a new trial.

Judgment reversed,

Bloodworth, J., concurs. Broyles, C. J., dissents.
