¶1The evidence relied upon by the State to connect the accused with the offense of having in his custody and control intoxicating liquor was wholly circumstantial in character, and did not exclude every reasonable hypoijiesis save that of the guilt of the accused. Accordingly, the court erred in overruling the motion for a new trial.
¶2Judgment reversed.
