Opinion

Wade, J.

1. The corpus delicti was established by circumstances in proof which sufficiently connected the accused with the commission of the crime and authorized the verdict, though the evidence as a whole was extremely weak.

2. There being some evidence to support the verdict, and the trial judge having approved the finding of the jury, this court is without power to set it aside. Judgment affirmed.
