17741.
Powell v. The State.
Decided January 11, 1927.
C. S. Claxton, J. L. Kent, for plaintiff in error.
Fred Kea, solicitor-general, contra.

Opinion:
Luke, J.
The circumstantial evidence upon which the accused was convicted was not sufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of the guilt of the accused, and, therefore, the court erred in overruling the motion for a new trial.
Judgment reversed.
Broyles, C. J., concurs. Bloodworth, J., absent on account of illness.
