Opinion

Simmons, C. J.

Although the conviction was founded solely on circumstantial evidence which does not establish the guilt of the accused with the fullest degree of conclusiveness and certainty, yet as the circumstances proved against him, taken all together, were sufficient to warrant the verdict, and it has been approved by the trial judge, this court is unable to say that he abused his discretion in refusing to set it aside.

Judgment affirmed.
