1Opinion of the CourtRussell, J.
The evidence was insufficient to authorize the conviction of the defendant, and a new trial should have been granted. The decision is controlled by the ruling in Thompson v. State, 5 Ga. App. 7 (62 S. E. 571), and Winkles v. State, 4 Ga. App. 559 (2), 563 (61 S. E. 1128).
