    Department Two.
    November 23, 1927.]
    The State of Washington, Respondent, v. Lawrence Costello et al., Appellants.
    
    Appeal from a judgment of the superior court for Spokane county, Huneke, J., entered February 4, 1927, upon a trial and conviction of jointists.'
    Reversed.
    
      Frank Tuse and Davis, Heil <£ Davis, for appellants.
    
      
      Reported in 260 Pac. 1073.
    
   Askeen, J.

Tbe defendants, convicted and sentenced upon the charge of being jointists, have appealed.

The main assignment of error is that the evidence showed' sales of liquor by each of the appellants, yet the court permitted reputation evidence to be admitted. This "case was tried before our recent decisions in State v. Stuttard, 143 Wash. 426, 255 Pac. 663, and State v. Mavros, 144 Wash. 340, 258 Pac. 21. The state evidently conceding the correctness of :the error assigned, has filed no appearance in this court. Under the authority of those cases, the judgment is reversed.

Fullerton, Main, and Holcomb, JJ., concur.
