1Opinion of the Court

Sims, P.,

after making the foregoing statement, delivered the following opinion of the court:

The chief question presented by the assignments, and that on which the decision turns, is the following:

1. Was there sufficient evidence before the jury to sustain the verdict in its finding connecting t'he accused with the crime charged?

No authority…
