Submitted May 27,

Rogers & Heath, F. Willis Dart, for plaintiff in error.
M, D. Dickerson, solicitor, contra.

Opinion:
Russell, J.
1. The fact that a party is black and ragged, and asleep at night, and has not worked for four days, although he may have no money, will not of itself authorize a conviction for vagrancy.
. 2. Where a person has been arrested without a warrant, evidence, obtained by unlawful search and seizure, that such person has no money, should be rejected.
3. The evidence did not authorize the conviction, which consequently was contrary to 'law. Judgment reversed.
