Adams v. The State.
Decided March 19, 1912.
Accusation of cheating and swindling; from city court of Sparta —Judge Moore,
December 21, 1911.
T. M. Hunt, for plaintiff in error.
R. L. Merritt, solicitor, T. F. Fleming, contra.

Opinion:
Pottle, J.
1. No contract "clear and definite in its terms" having been shown, the evidence was not sufficient to authorize a conviction of cheating and swindling, under the act approved August 15, 1903 (Acts 1903, p. 90). Saunders v. State, 7 Ga. App. 46 (65 S. E. 1071).
2. Even if the evidence was sufficient in other respects, the contract was too indefinite as to the character of the work to be performed.
Judgment reversed.
