1Opinion of the CourtSmith, C. J.
This is an appeal from a conviction of murder. The evidence would support a conviction of manslaughter, but does not support a conviction of murder; consequently, the court erred in not granting the appellant’s request for an instruction limiting his conviction to manslaughter.
Reversed and remanded.
