Hill, C. J.
Where a conviction depends entirely on circumstantial evidence, and where the circumstances, when most strongly construed against the accused, are only sufficient to raise a bare suspicion of his guilt, and especially where this suspicion has been removed by uncontradicted evidence, the verdict must be set aside as contrary to law.
Judgment reversed.
