10515.
    Gibbons v. The State.
    Decided July 22, 1919.
    Indictment for possession of liquor; from Floyd superior court-judge Wright. March 31, 1919.
    
      W. B. Mebane, for plaintiff in error.
    
      O. H. Porter, solicitor-general, contra.
   Stephens, J.

1. Where in a criminal case the defendant’s guilt was clearly and positively established by legal and competent testimony of unimpeached witnesses, the admission of hearsay testimony from another witness, even as to a material fact, was not prejudicial to the defendant, when its exclusion could not have produced a different verdict. The admission of such evidence was harmless and affords no ground for a new trial.

2.- The verdict is supported by the evidence.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, P. J., and Bloodworth, J,, concur.
