10 So.2d 838
    GILBERT v. STATE.
    7 Div. 665.
    Court of Appeals of Alabama.
    June 23, 1942.
    Rehearing Denied Oct. 6, 1942,
    
      No attorney marked for appellant.
    Thos. S. Lawson, Atty. Gen., for the State.
   SIMPSON, JUDGE.

The defendant was convicted of possessing a moonshine still in DeKalb County.

There were two defenses; first, that he was not guilty and, second, that the six stills, one of which the defendant was said to have been tending, were all without the jurisdiction of the county (DeKalb) in which he was indicted and beirg tried.

As to these two issues, the evidence was in sharp conflict; that for the State substantially proving the affirmative of eagh, and that for the defendant tending to sustain his contention.

Under this state of the evidence, a jury question was presented. The court correctly refused the several requested affirmative charges.

No error appears. The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
