This is an appeal from a conviction for felony swindling, appellant having been found guilty by a jury and assessed a term of 8 years.

The opinion of the Supreme Court requires that appellant's motion to reverse and remand this cause be granted.
Our prior opinions are withdrawn and the judgment of the trial court is reversed and the cause remanded.
