Head Matter:
Taylor v. State.
(Division A.
March 11, 1940.)
[194 So. 589.
No. 34074.]
S. E. Turner and J. Crawford Neill, both of Carollton, for appellant.
W. D. Conn, Jr., Assistant Attorney-General, for appellee.

Opinion:
Smith, C. J.,
delivered the opinion of the court.
This is an appeal from a conviction of murder. The evidence would support a conviction of manslaughter, but does not support a conviction of murder; consequently, the court erred in not granting the appellant's request for an instruction limiting his conviction to manslaughter.
Reversed and remanded.
