STATE v. GRIGGS.

Springfield Court of Appeals. Missouri.

April 1, 1912.

CRIMINAL LAW (§ 1094)—APPEAL—ABSENCE OF BILL OF EXCEPTIONS.

Where there is no bill of exceptions, a conviction will be affirmed in the absence of error in the record proper.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Dent County; L. B. Woodside, Judge.

Joe Griggs was convicted of selling intoxicating liquors in violation of the local option law, and he appeals. Affirmed.

L. T. McGee, Pros. Atty., and E. W. Bennett, Asst. Pros. Atty., both of Salem, for the State.

GRAY, J.

At the April term, 1911, of the circuit court of Dent county, the grand jury returned an indictment against the defendant charging him with selling intoxicating liquors in violation of the local option law. The defendant entered a plea of not guilty, and was tried by a jury on the 2d day of September, 1911, and convicted. A judgment was rendered on the verdict, and he appealed.

The transcript shows that the defendant was given 30 days in which to file his bill of exceptions, but it does not appear that the bill was ever filed, as no copy of the same is found in the transcript.

We have examined the record proper, and, finding no error therein, the judgment must be affirmed. All concur.
