Opinion

Guerry, J.

The crime of burglary was clearly proved; and while the defendant’s connection with it was shown only by circumstantial evidence, the circumstances were such that this court can not say the jury was not authorized to find that they pointed to his guilt to the exclusion of every other reasonable hypothesis. There was no abuse of discretion in overruling the motion for new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, O. J., and MacIntyre, J., concur.
