Duke v. The State.
Decided July 14, 1931.

Opinion:
Luke, J.
The defendant's conviction in this case was entirely dependent upon circumstantial evidence, and the evidence did not meet the legal requirements. Therefore the judgment overruling the motion for a new trial was error.
Judgment reversed.

Porter & Mebane, for plaintiff in error.
