Check Treatment

The accused was convicted of the offense of fornication and adultery. The evidence tending to connect her with such a crime was wholly circumstantial, and, while raising a strong suspicion of her guilt, was not sufficient to exclude every other reasonable hypothesis. The verdict was unauthorized, and the refusal to grant a new trial was error.

Judgment reversed. MacIntyre and Guerry, JJ.,concur.

DECIDED FEBRUARY 5, 1940.
