Opinion

Broyles, C. J.

The evidence tending to connect the defendant with the offense charged was wholly circumstantial, and was not sufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of his guilt. Therefore the verdict in favor of the State was unauthorized, and the court’s refusal to grant a new trial was error.

Judgment reversed.

MacIntyre and Guerry, JJ., concur.
