M. H. Boyer, solicitor-general, contra.

Opinion:
Luke, J.
Although the evidence raises a strong suspicion of guilt, it is not sufficient'to exclude every other hypothesis than that of the guilt of the defendant. It was error to overrule the motion for a new trial.
Judgment reversed.
Broyles, C. J., and Bloodworth, J., concur.
