OPINION BY MR. JUSTICE NIX, September 19, 1973:

The principal question presented by this appeal is whether the evidence offered by the Commonwealth was sufficient as a matter of law to support the jury's verdict of murder in the second degree. The appellee, William Ray Blevins, was indicted on the charges of murder and involuntary manslaughter as a result of the death of Jeffrey Dishman, the three year old natural child of the appellee and Anna Dishman.
