Leatherwood v. The State.
Decided August 4, 1933.
Waller Matthews, for plaintiff in error.
S. W. Ragsdale, solicitor-general, contra.

Opinion:
Broyles, C. J.
The circumstantial evidence relied upon for a conviction was not sufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of the guilt of the accused; and the court erred in overruling the motion for a new trial.
Judgment reversed.
MacIntyre and Querry, JJ., concur.
