Head Matter:
17616.
Thurmond v. The State.
Decided November 9, 1926.
H. A. Woodward, Hammond & Kennedy, for plaintiff in error.
W. Inman Gurry, solicitor, contra.

Opinion:
Broyles, C. J.
While the conviction of the accused depended wholly upon circumstantial evidence, the jury were correctly instructed upon the weight to be given such evidence; and, under the facts of the ease, this court can not hold, as a matter of law, that the jury were not authorized to find that the evidence adduced excluded every reasonable hypothesis save that of the defendant's guilt.
Judgment affirmed.
Luke, J., concurs. Bloodworlh, J., absent on account of illness.
