““We are apprised to the line of distinction set out in the cases between an insufficiency of evidence and a total lack of evidence of the fact or facts required to prove the guilt of the party accused. State v. Martinez, 201 La. 949 , 10 So.2d 712 ; State v. Tucker, 204 La. 463 , 15 So.2d 854 , and the cases cited therein. But where there is no evidence at all tending to prove a particular fact which is essential to a valid conviction this court will set aside the conviction for want of proof of the guilt of the defendant. * * * ” State of Louisiana v. Harrell, 232 La. 35 , 93 So.2d 684, 686 . Also see, State v. McCarty, 232 La. 145 , 94 So.2d 11 ; State v. Sbisa, 232 La. 961 , 95 So.2d 619 ; State v. LaBorde, 234 La. 28 , 99 So.2d 11 ; State v.
