Appeal from Henry Circuit Court; J. R. Hinshaw, Judge.
Jess Richardson was convicted of violating Acts 1923, c. 34, § 1, and he appeals. Affirmed.A. R. Feemster, of Cambridge City, and W. O. Barnard, of New Castle, for appellant.
Arthur L. Gilliom, Atty. Gen., for the State.
The appellant was convicted of a violation of section 1, c. 34, p. 108, Acts 1923, and he appeals. He claims that the court erred in overruling his motion in arrest of judgment, and says that the facts stated in the affidavit do not constitute a public offense under any law of the state of Indiana, and particularly under the act of March 1, 1923 (Acts 1923, p. 108).

In that case the court says: The court did not err in overruling the motion in arrest of judgment.
[3] The appellant next contends that the court erred in admitting certain evidence procured by an invalid search warrant, said search warrant and affidavit upon which it was based being invalid because there was no attempt to describe the property to be searched in either of them. It was contended that the verdict is not sustained by sufficient evidence and is contrary to law, because the evidence upon which it was found was procured by means of an invalid search warrant; but it appears from the record that the search warrant, which it is alleged was illegally issued, was issued for the purpose of searching the premises of one Omer Peele, and that his premises were searched, and the evidence complained of by appellant was procured by the search warrant issued to search the premises of said Peele, and was found upon his premises, and there is evidence tending to show that the...
