Selling Intoxicating Liquor — Evidence Sustains the Conviction.

No bills of exception appear in the record, and no complaint is made of the court's charge. The evidence is sufficient to support the conviction.

Appeal from the District Court of Mitchell County. Tried below before the Hon. W. P. Leslie, Judge.

Appeal from a conviction for selling intoxicating liquor; penalty, two years in the penitentiary.

No brief filed for appellant.

Tom Garrard, State's Attorney, and Grover C. Morris, Assistant State's Attorney, for the State.


Conviction is for selling intoxicating liquor. Punishment is two years in the penitentiary.

The alleged purchaser makes out a case for the State. He is supported to some extent by the officer who saw him and appellant together, witnessed their movements, and found the whisky in possession of the purchaser a few minutes after the sale is claimed to have been made by him. Appellant denied in toto the transaction. The jury settled this issue for the State.

No bills of exception are found in the record, and no complaint is made of the court's charge.

The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
