Head Matter:
28370.
Moreland v. The State.
Decided September 18, 1940.
F. Lee Evans, Rupert L. Murphy, for plaintiff in error.
John A. Boykin, solicitor-general, Bond Almand, solicitor, J. W. LeCraw, contra.

Opinion:
MacIntyre, J.
John Moreland was convicted of operating a lottery, and his motion for new trial embraced the general grounds only. The evidence connecting him with the offense charged, while wholly circumstantial, was sufficient to authorize the jury to find that it excluded every reasonable hypothesis except that of his guilt. The certiorari was properly overruled.
Judgment affirmed.
Broyles, G. J., and Gardner, J., concur.
