   HARPER, Judge.

Appellant was prosecuted and convicted of violating the prohibition law in Johnson County, Texas, from which judgment he prosecutes this appeal, the only assignment of error being that the evidence is insufficient to support the verdict. S. Gordón swears positively to purchasing a bottle of whisky from appellant, and says he paid him for it. It is true appellant denies making the sale, hut this was a question for the jury.

The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
