BRAY v. STATE.
    No. 22625.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Dec. 15, 1943.
    
      Bert G. Ashby, of Dallas, for appellant.
    Spurgeon E. Bell, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.
   KRUEGER, Judge.

The offense is the possession of whis-ky in a dry area for the purpose of sale. The punishment assessed is a fine of $1,000.

It appears from the record that appellant was arrested on the night of May 3, 1943, and placed in jail; that the next morning he was escorted from his cell in the jail to the judge’s office in the courthouse, where he entered a plea of guilty to the charge and the court assessed his punishment as above stated.

Appellant’s contention in this case is similar to that of Tischmacher v. State, 176 S.W.2d 188, this day decided; and for the reasons stated in our opinion in that case, we affirm 'the judgment of the trial court in this case.

PER CURIAM.

The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the Court.
