 Appeal from the County Court of

E. Hewlett as charged in said complaint" The State took issue on this plea. The evidence showed that Au- gustin El5y Hewlett was the defendant s name; that he was sometimes called "Au- gustin" but generally called Gus" and that he was never known or called by the name of A. E. Held: That the plea of the defendant was proved. and upon such issue it was error for the court to instruct the jury that if they believed from the evidence that the de- fendant was known by the name "A. E. Hewlett as much as Gus Hewlett then the verdict must be for the State.
