Head Matter:
HARDY v. STATE.
No. 25626.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
Jan. 9, 1952.
R. E. Murphey, Coleman, for appellant.
George P. Blackburn, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
WOODLEY, Commissioner.
The conviction is for possession of whiskey for the purpose of sale in a dry area with punishment assessed at 60 days in jail and a fine of $250.
The statement'of facts has been carefully examined, and .we find no proof showing the dry status of the area in which the liquor was found.
It follows that the evidence is insufficient to sustain the conviction.
In view of another trial, attention is directed to the cases of Wood v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 243 S.W.2d 31, and Buck v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 243 S.W.2d 700, wherein search warrants were held invalid because of the use of "and/or" in setting forth the-name of the person in oharge of the premises to be.searched.
The judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded.
Opinion approved by the Court.
