Opinion

4 Div. 135.

November 17, 1925. Rehearing Denied January 12, 1926.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Dale County; J. S. Williams, Judge.

C. O. Stokes, of Ozark, for appellant.

Harwell G. Davis, Atty. Gen., and Thos. E. Knight, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

Certiorari denied by Supreme Court in Mathews v. State, 214 Ala. 699 107 So. 924.


Defendant was convicted on a charge of possessing a still for the purpose of manufacturing whisky. It would serve no good purpose to enter into a detailed discussion of the evidence as disclosed by this record. The evidence for the state, if believed beyond a reasonable doubt, was sufficient upon which to base a verdict of conviction, and therefore the affirmative charge was properly refused. A review of the record discloses no error prejudicial to defendant's rights. On the contrary, it shows that the defendant has had a fair and an impartial trial according to the forms of law, and the judgment is affirmed.
