168 So. 813.
Division B.
Opinion Filed July 18, 1936;
George M. Okell, for Plaintiff in Error;
Cary D. Landis, Attorney General, and Roy Campbell, Assistant'Attorney General, for the State.

Opinion:
Buford, J.
In this case the plaintiff was convicted of murder in the first degree without recommendation to mercy.
The record fails to disclose substantial evidence of a premeditated design to effect the death of the person killed. It, therefore, app'ears that the ends of justice will be sub-served by reversing the judgment and remanding the cause for a new trial. See Courson v. State, 113 Fla. 123, 151 Sou. 542; Woodward, et al., v. State, 113 Fla. 301, 151 Sou. 509, and cases there cited.
It is so ordered.
Reversed.
Ellis, P. J., and Terrell, J., concur.
Whitfield, C. J., and Brown and Davis, J. J., concur in the opinion annd judgment.
