CRAIN v. STATE.
    No. 26137.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Jan. 7, 1953.
    Reid & Reid and J. W. Reid, Abilene, for appellant.
    George P. Blackburn, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.
   WOODLEY, Judge.

The conviction is for possession of whis-ky in Taylor County, a- dry area, for the purpose of sale; the punishment 90 days in jail and a fine of $500.

The state confesses that the evidence is insufficient to sustain the conviction because of the failure to prove that Taylor County was a dry area.

The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
