Head Matter:
19457.
Jones v. The State.
Decided April 9, 1929.
E. L. Forrester, for plaintiff in error.
T. O. Marshall, solicitor, contra.

Opinion:
Bloodworth, J.
The defendant was convicted, on circumstantial evidence, of maliciously maiming and killing a mule. The jury, by their verdict, said that the evidence excluded every reasonable hypothesis save that of the guilt of the accused; and the trial judge approved their verdict. This court can not say that the motion for a new trial, based on the general grounds only, was improperly overruled.
Judgment affirmed.
Broyles, O. J., and Luhe, J., coneur.
