Opinion

White, Presiding Judge.

In this case the Assistant Attorney General frankly confesses that he can not ask an affirmance of the judgment. The evidence is wholly insufficient to sustain the verdict and judgment, and even if the evidence .was sufficient the judgment would have to be reversed on account of errors in the charge of the court, both in regard to the instructions as to circumstantial evidence and recent possession.

Reversed and remanded.
