Opinion

Cobb, J.

The accused having been convicted of the offense of murder upon evidence which was purely circumstantial in its nature, and the circumstances proved not being sufficient to establish their guilt beyond all reasonable doubt, the court erred in not granting each of them a new trial, upon the ground that the verdicts against them were contrary to the evidence and entirely without evidence to support them.

Judgment in each case reversed.

All the Justices concurring.
