Gardner, P. J.

The State failed to identify the tracks as those of the defendant. See Patton v. State, 117 Ga. 230 (43 S. E. 533) *583 and Cummings v. State, 110 Ga. 293 (35 S. E. 117). In our opinion the evidence, wholly circumstantial, did not negative every reasonable hypothesis save that of the guilt of the accused. See Corbin v. State, 84 Ga. App. 763 (67 S. E. 2d 478). See also Wilson v. State, 32 Ga. App. 427 (123 S. E. 623); Kinsey v. State, 40 Ga. App. 707 (151 S. E. 394) and Ralston v. State, 66 Ga. App. 62 (17 S. E. 2d 81).

The trial court erred in overruling the motion for a new trial.

Judgment reversed.

Townsend and Carlisle, JJ., concur.
