Opinion:
Hill, J.
1. There was evidence submitted by the accused on the trial, which, if credible, was sufficient to sustain his defense of alibi; and the court erred in failing, without request, to instruct the jury on the law of that subject.
2. The other grounds of the motion for a new trial do not require a reversal. Judgment reversed.
All the Justices concur, except
