Appeal from Johnson County Court; B. Jay Jackson, Judge.

Affirmed.
C. C. McDonald, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

Opinion:
HARPER, J.
Appellant was prosecuted and convicted of violating the prohibition law in Johnson' county, Tex., from which judgment he prosecutes this appeal; the only assignment of error being that the evidence is insufficient to support the verdict.
S. Gordon swears positively to purchasing .a bottle of whisky from appellant, and says he paid him for it. It is true appellant denies making the sale, but this was a question for the jury.
The judgment is affirmed.
