Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Evidence — Circumstantial — Question for Jury. In the solution of questions of fact dependent upon circumstantial evidence, the jury must be left to decide which of two equally plausible conclusions, deducible from such circumstances, shall be adopted.</p> <p>2. - Civil Case — Degree of Certainty. Circumstantial evidence in a civil case, in order to be sufficient to sustain a verdict, need not rise to that degree of certainty which will exclude every reasonable conclusion other than the one arrived at by the jury.</p>
