Payne v. State of Indiana.
    [No. 13,625.
    Filed April 3, 1929.]
    
      James H. Meyer and Posey T. Kime, for appellant.
    
      Arthur L. Gilliom, Attorney-General, and Bernard A. Keltner, Deputy Attorney-General, for the State.
   Lockyear, J.

This was a prosecution by the State of Indiana against appellant upon affidavit charging the unlawful possession of a still or distilling apparatus for the unlawful manufacture of liquor.

The appellant was not represented bv an attorney, was tried by the court, and found guilty of possession of a still as charged in the affidavit, fined $100 and committed to the Indiana Woman’s Prison from one to five years.

The appellant filed a motion for a new trial alleging: (1) That the finding of the court is contrary to law; (2) that the finding of the court is not sustained by sufficient evidence. The court overruled the motion for a new trial.

There is ample evidence in the record to support the court’s finding and judgment.

Judgment affirmed.
