Roiesler, Plaintiff in error, vs. The State, Defendant in error.
    
      September 20
    
    October 14, 1924.
    
    
      Intoxicating liquors: Destruction of fluids on premises being searched.
    
    The evidence in this case is held sufficient to sustain a conviction for secreting or destroying fluids on premises being searched under a warrant, p. 636.
    Error to review a judgment of the municipal court of Milwaukee county: A. C. Backus, Judge.
    
      Affirmed.
    
    Plaintiff in error was behind the bar on premises licensed for the sale of soft drinks. Three officers in uniform, one with a search warrant, entered. Before the warrant was produced or read the defendant proceeded to dispose of the contents of a glass he was then holding, which glass was immediately seized. The liquid remaining in the glass contained alcohol. He was found guilty of a violation of the prohibition law, making it unlawful to secrete or destroy fluids on premises being searched, and from the judgment he sued out this writ of error.
    The cause was submitted for the plaintiff in error on the brief of A. W. Richter of Milwaukee, and for the defendant in error on that of the Attorney General, Eugene Wengert, 
      district attorney oí Milwaukee county, and John P. Don-nelly, assistant district attorney.
   Eschweiler, J.

There is sufficient evidence in the record to support the result reached.

By the Court. — Judgment affirmed.
