1DissentPrendergast, Judge

(dissenting).—Being unable to agree with the opinion of the court in this case I think it necessary in order to show my views to discuss the case and evidence at some length.

The conviction was obtained upon circumstantial evidence. In my opinion the evidence could hardly be stronger or. clearer to establish appellant’s guilt.

The statement of facts is of considerable length, but I have given it a careful study. I think it unnecessary to give in detail the evidence because of its length, but will give the substance of the material conclusions authorized or established thereby. - ..
