Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. T. Justin Figas, Appellant.
Judgment of County Court and judgment of conviction of Children’s Court of Buffalo reversed.

Opinion:
Held, that the uncorroborated testimony of the boy who was punished is not so convincing as to outweigh the evidence of the defense; he was so young as hardly to understand the nature of an oath. We think the defendant's guilt has not been established beyond a reasonable doubt. All concurred.
