Head Matter:
23457.
Edwards v. The State.
Decided October 28, 1933.
L. M. Wyatt, for plaintiff in error.
W. Y. Atkinson, solicitor-general, contra.

Opinion:
Broyles, C. J.
The defendant was convicted of burglary. The evidence tending to connect him with the offense was wholly circumstantial; and while it raised a strong suspicion of his guilt, it was not sufficient to exclude every other reasonable hypothesis. The court erred in refusing to grant him a new trial.
Judgment revo'sed.
MacIntyre and Guerry, JJ., concur.
