Vickery v. State

Court of Appeals of Alabama

137 So. 456 (Ala. Crim. App. 1931)

Opinion

6 Div. 28.

May 19, 1931. Rehearing Denied August 4, 1931.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Winston County; R. L. Blanton, Judge.

Walter Vickery was convicted of possessing a still to be used for the purpose of manufacturing prohibited liquor, and he appeals.

Affirmed.

Certiorari denied by Supreme Court in Vickery v. State, 223 Ala. 576, 137 So. 456.

J. B. Powell, of Jasper, for appellant.

Thos. E. Knight, Jr., Atty. Gen., for the State.


Appellant was convicted of the offense of unlawfully being in possession of a still, etc., to be used for the purpose of manufacturing prohibited liquor.

His counsel argues very strenuously that there was no evidence tending to show his possession of the still, etc., which was found by the officers, etc. But we are not persuaded by the argument.

There was no motion for a new trial, and if there was a scintilla of evidence tending to show appellant's guilt, etc., the requested general affirmative charge to find in his favor, was, of course, properly refused. McMillan v. Aiken et al., 205 Ala. 35, 88 So. 135. There was such "scintilla." It is unnecessary to discuss the testimony.

We find nowhere prejudicial error, and the judgment of conviction is affirmed.

Affirmed.
