23265.
    McMichen v. The State.
    Decided July 21, 1933.
    
      W. L. Benton, for plaintiff in error.
    
      S. W. Ragsdale, solicitor-general, contra.
   Guerry, J.

In repeated rulings of this court, presence at a still in actual operation, and flight therefrom on approach of officers, has been held sufficient to sustain a conviction of manufacturing whisky. The explanation of such presence is a question for the jury. The court therefore did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, O. J., and Maolntyre, J., eoneur.
