Syllabus

<p>L An appellate court should not grant a new trial upon the insufficiency of the evidence to sustain the verdict of guilty affirmed by the trial court if there is some evidence of all the facts 'legally essential to support the verdict, and the whole evidence is such that the verdict may have fairly been found on it.</p> <p>2. On a consideration of the evidence, it is held that the jury was warranted in finding the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree. Taylor and Hocker, J. J. dissenting.</p>
