    Worthan v. The State.
    Decided February 17, 1932.
    
      C. B. McGarity, for plaintiff in error.
    
      8. W. Ragsdale, solicitor-general, contra.
   Broyles, C. J.

While the evidence connecting the defendant with the offense charged (simple-larceny) was wholly circumstantial, it was sufficient to authorize the jury 'to find that it excluded every reasonable hypothesis save that of his guilt; and the overruling of the motion for a new trial (based upon the general grounds only) was not error.

Judgment affirmed.

Luke, J., concurs. Blood-worth, J., absent on account of illness.
