Intoxicating Liquors — Evidence Sustaining Conviction for Transporting. In a prosecution for transporting intoxicating liquor, evidence held to sustain a conviction.

Appeal from County Court, Kiowa County; J.S. Carpenter, Judge.

No brief has been filed and no appearance made in behalf of plaintiff in error. The errors assigned question the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the verdict. There is not much conflict in the evidence in the case. The officers observed a cousin of the defendant carrying a sack to the defendant's car which contained two 1/2-gallon jars of corn whisky.

The judgment of the trial court is accordingly affirmed.
