C. A. Skirlock v. The State.
    No. 10073.
    Delivered March 17, 1926.
    Burglary — Evidence Held Sufficient.
    The evidence in this case is sufficient to support the conviction, the corroboration of the accomplice witness being ample, and no error presented in the court’s charge, the judgment will be affirmed.
    Appeal from the District Court of Stonewall County. Tried below before the Hon. Bruce W. Bryant, Judge.

      Lon Brooks of Anson, for appellant.
    
      Sam D. Stinson, State’s Attorney, and Nat Gentry Jr., Assistant State’s Attorney, for the State.
   HAWKINS, Judge.

Appellant is under conviction for the burglary of a house belonging to Hugh Farrow. Punishment is five years in the penitentiary.

The evidence supports the verdict. The testimony of the accomplice witness is sufficiently corroborated to meet the requirements of the law under appropriate instructions upon the subject.

Only one bill of exceptions is found in the record. In it ■ complaint is made that the court failed to charge upon circumstantial evidence. However, when the charge is examined it is found to contain a correct and complete instruction upon this subject. We are unable to understand the confusion in this regard unless this record has been confused with those in other prosecutions against the same appellant and one Williams.

The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.

On motion .for rehearing, this case was reversed. See opinion on rehearing, published in Volume 104 of these reports.
