23991.
    Evans v. The State.
    Decided July 20, 1934.
    
      Clarence E. Adams, for plaintiff in error.
    
      B. Howard Gordon, solicitor, contra.
   Bboyles, C. J.

The evidence tending to connect the accused with the offense charged (possessing whisky) was wholly circumstantial, and was insufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of his guilt. The refusal to grant a new trial was error.

Judgment reversed.

MacIntyre and Guerry, JJ., concur.
