Opinion

Smith, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The burning of the house was abundantly proven; but the only evidence, other than the alleged confession of the accused, which tended to establish that the burning was caused by a criminal agency, was several slight circumstances, wholly insufficient for this purpose. Bolden v. State, 54 South. 241. Reversed and remanded.

Mayes, C. J., dissents.
