Buckner v. The State.
Decided July 29, 1925.
William E. & W. Gordon Mann, for plaintiff in error.
G. G. Pittman, solicitor-general, contra.

Opinion:
Bboyles, C. J.
The defendant was convicted of the offense of car-breaking. The evidence tending to connect him with the crime was wholly circumstantial and was insufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of his guilt. The court, therefore, erred in overruling the motion for a new trial.
Judgment reversed.
Luke and Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
