evidence of probable cause.
However, the defendant,
Thomas HI. Robinson, ST., was
allowed to introduce evidence to
rebuke such evidence of prob
able cause. Evidence must show
a probable cause to believe the
defendant guilty, a reasonable
ground for believing a person
guilty, such reason and circum-

and convincing to right reason.
