Opinion
The circumstances relied upon to support the verdict, weighed most strongly against the accused, are not incriminatory in character, and are only sufficient to raise a suspicion of guilt; and suspicion alone, however strong and apparently well founded, has no probative value as evidence, and a verdict based thereon, without more, is contrary to law.
Judgment reversed.
