“While the State’s case was for the jury, yet under the record here it was not an unusually strong case[,] and the defendant produced a sufficient defense if believed by the jury. Under the facts here disclosed[,] we feel that it was prejudicial error for the trial court to grant to the State an instruction to the effect that a prima facie presumption may be indulged in by the jury in support of and in addition to the evidence for the State.”
