6 Div. 912

Court of Appeals of Alabama

February 1, 1916


Appeal from Circuit Court, Walker County; J.J. Curtis, Judge.

Will Turner was convicted of selling malt liquors contrary to law, and he appeals. Affirmed.

[14 Ala.App. 30] Leith & Gunn, of Jasper, for appellant.

W.L. Martin, Atty. Gen., for the State.

BROWN, J.

The defendant was indicted at the August term, 1914, of the Walker county circuit court for selling "malt liquors contrary to law," and was tried at the April term, 1915. The demurrer to the indictment, if one was interposed, is not set out in the record, and no ruling on demurrer is shown in the judgment of the court; hence, the argument of counsel predicated on such assumed ruling is inept. The indictment was sufficient as charging the offense of selling malt liquors and to sustain the judgment of conviction. Acts Special Session 1909, p. 90, § 29 1/2; Arrington v. State, 69 So. 385; Bush v. State, 12 Ala.App. 260, 67 So. 847; Harrison v. State, 69 So. 383; Whaley v. State, 69 So. 384.

The evidence offered by the state tended to show a sale of "Schlitz" beer by the defendant to George Ruff, and was sufficient to carry the case to the jury and to authorize the refusal of the affirmative charge.

There is no error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
