Hall v. The State.
Decided January 17, 1911.
Accusation of sale of liqu.or; from city 'court of Ocilla — Judge Oxford. October 31, 1910.
The accused was convicted of selling whisky. The only evidence introduced was that of the sheriff of the county, who testified, that he hid himself in a stable and saw the accused drive up to the stable with his dray, get off, and have a conversation with another man, and then go into the stable and come out with a bottle of whisky, which he gave to the other man. The witness saw no money pass, and did not think that any money passed between them when the whisky was delivered. He was in a position to see it, if any passed between them at that time. The stable did not belong to the accused. On searching the stable the witness found nine quarts of the same kind of whisky that the accused had given to the other man. When arrested the accused said that the whisky belonged to one George Boyd. The witness searched him and found $6.05 in his pocket. There was no further evidence as to this transaction.
