No. 152 | Ga. | Jun 14, 1917
1. The court did not err, as complained in the amended ‘ motion, in regard to the admission of evidence.
2. The verdict in this case is dependent entirely' on circumstantial - evi- : ■ dence. The proved facts are consistent with innocence, and are insufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of the guilt of the accused. Suspicion of guilt will not authorize a conviction.
