Opinion:
SWING, J.
We are of the opinion that the judgment in this case should be reversed, on the ground that it is not sustained by sufficient evidence. The evidence in a case of this kind should bo clear and satisfactory, that the party was guilty of the offense charged. And it seems to us that it comes very far short of being such.
Judgment reversed and remanded.
