We have examined the record, the evidence is circumstantial, and there are sufficient circumstances proven from which the jury might reasonably and logically find the defendant guilty. The facts proven are consistent with the guilt of the accused and inconsistent with any other reasonable hypothesis than that of his guilt. No material error is apparent.
