| Parties | JONES v. STATE. |
Appeal from Circuit Court, Morgan County; Robert C. Brickell, Judge.
Charlie Jones was convicted of violating the prohibition laws, and he appeals. Affirmed.
W. H Long, of Decatur, for appellant.

It was competent for the state to prove that at the time of finding the still and tracks,...
