T. Hart Getzen, Plaintiff in Error, v. The State of Florida, Defendant in Error.
    
    Decision Filed November 14, 1923.
    This case was decided by Division B.
    A Writ of Error to the Circuit Court for Polk County; John S. Edwards, Judge.
    
      Wilson & Boswell, for Plaintiff in Error;
    
      Rivers Buford,, Attorney General, and J. B. Gaines, Assistant Attorney General, for the State.
   Per Curiam.

The essential features of this case are similar to those in Flynn v. State, this day decided. The plaintiff in error being tried alone was convicted of being an accessory before the fact and there is nothing to show that the principal named in the indictment had been convicted, but the inferences justified by the record indicate that the alleged principal had not been convicted; therefore, the judgment herein of conviction as an accessory before the fact is erroneous and is hereby reversed on the authority of Flynn v. State, this day decided.

Reversed for a new trial.

Whitfield, P. J., and West and Terrell, J. J., concur.
