    Brown v. The State.
    Decided December 16. 1931.
   Broyles, C. J.

The evidence tending to connect the accused with the offense charged was wholly circumstantial, and did not exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of his guilt. Therefore his conviction was unauthorized, and the refusal to grant a new trial was error.

Judgment reversed.

Jjuhe, J., concurs. Bloodworth, J., absent on account of illness.

W. L. Nix, for plaintiff in error.

Clifford Pralt, solicitor-general, contra.
