Head Matter:
24051.
Burkes v. The State.
Decided July 9, 1934.

Opinion:
Broyles, C. J.
The accused was convicted of possessing whisky. The evidence connecting him with that offense, while circumstantial, was sufficient', in connection with the direct evidence as to an incriminatory admission made by him, to authorize the verdict. The refusal to grant a new trial was not error.
Judgment affirmed.
MacIntyre and Guerry, JJ., concur.
R. L. Addition, Charles G. Bruce, for plaintiff in error.
Chester A. Byars, solicitor, contra.
