(No. 7710.)
(Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
June 6, 1923.)
Criminal law <&wkey;510 — Conviction based on uncorroborated testimony of accomplice reversed.
A conviction based on the uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice must be reversed.
Appeal from District Court, Comanche County; J. R. McClellan, Judge.
Tom Walker was convicted of theft, and he appeals.
Reversed and remanded.
A. E. Hampton, of De Leon, and Callaway & Callaway, of Comanche, for appellant.
R. G. Storey, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

Opinion:
HAWKINS, J.
Conviction is for felony theft, with punishment of two years in the penitentiary. This is a companion case to that of Rowe Walker (No. 7709) 252 S. W. 552, this day decided. The facts in the two cases are practically identical. We find no testimony of any character in the instant ease which tends remotely to connect appellant with the offense charged against him outside the testimony of the accomplice witness Howard.
For' the same reasons stated in the companion case the judgment in this case must be reversed, and the cause remanded.
