3954.
    Adams v. The State.
    Decided March 19, 1912.
    Accusation of cheating and swindling; from city court of Sparta —Judge Moore,
    December 21, 1911.
    
      T. M. Hunt, for plaintiff in error.
    
      R. L. Merritt, solicitor, T. F. Fleming, contra.
   Pottle, J.

1. No contract “clear and definite in its terms” having been shown, the evidence was not sufficient to authorize a conviction of cheating and swindling, under the act approved August 15, 1903 (Acts 1903, p. 90). Saunders v. State, 7 Ga. App. 46 (65 S. E. 1071).

2. Even if the evidence was sufficient in other respects, the contract was too indefinite as to the character of the work to be performed.

Judgment reversed.
