    (No. 12949.)
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Jan. 22, 1930.
    John R. Erancis, of Houston, for appellant.
    O’Brien Stevens, Dist. Atty., of Houston, and A. A. Dawson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for tbe State.
   LATTIMORE, J.

Conviction for transporting intoxicating liquor; punishment, one year in tbe penitentiary.

There are two bills of exceptions, but both were filed too late to' be considered. The testimony seems amply sufficient. Officers met appellant on a public road, and testified that be bad in bis truck a gallon of whisky. Appellant’s only defense was that tbe whisky belonged to a negro, who bad asked him to let him ride. He said, when they met tbe officers, tbe negro jumped off the truck and ran. Tbe officers testified that they had on plain clothes when they met appellant, and that no one jumped from tbe truck and ran away.

Tbe judgment will be affirmed.
