Appeal from District Court, Titus County; R. T. Wilkinson, Judge.

Ernest Harper was convicted of unlawfully transporting intoxicating liquor, and he appeals. Affirmed.

Tom Garrard. State's Atty., of Midland, and Grover C. Morris, Asst. State's Atty., of Austin, for the State.

MORROW, P. J.

The offense is the unlawful transportation of intoxicating liquor: punishment fixed at confinement in the penitentiary for a period of one year.

No facts are brought forward for review.

An exception was taken to the sufficiency of the indictment upon the ground that it failed to contain an averment that the intoxicating liquor was transported for sale. Such an averment was not necessary. See Crowley v. State, 92 Tex. Cr. R. 103, 242 S. W. 472; Johnson v. State, 93 Tex. Cr. R. 150, 245 S. W. 710.

The judgment is affirmed.
