State v. Christoph

The Supreme Court of Washington
Mar 19, 1928
265 P. 1119 (Wash. 1928)

Opinion

No. 20566. Department Two.

March 19, 1928.

Appeal from a judgment of the superior court for Spokane county, Lindsley, J., entered November 13, 1926, upon a trial and conviction of bootlegging. Affirmed.

Robertson Paine, for appellant.

Chas. W. Greenough, for respondent.


The instructions complained of in regard to possession of intoxicating liquor were concededly correct and under the evidence in the case were properly given.

The instruction in regard to the definition of carrying liquor about was lately approved of, as given, in the case of State v. Peck, 146 Wn. 101, 261 P. 779.

There was no error in refusing to give the requested instructions, for the reason that in so far as they properly stated the law they were inapplicable to the facts as developed on the trial.

The motion for a new trial was properly denied, for the reason that there was sufficient evidence to justify a conviction.

Affirmed.
