Head Matter:
18709.
SIMMONS, alias POPE v. THE STATE.
Decided April 10, 1928.
Jere M. Moore, for plaintiff in error.
Charles H. Garrett, solicitor-general, contra.

Opinion:
Luke, J.
A witness in this case testified that he paid defendant $1 for a pint of whisky. The defendant flatly contradicted this witness. Clearly this court is without authority to set aside the conviction of the defendant of both possessing and selling whisky; and the trial judge did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial, based solely upon the usual general grounds.
Judgment affirmed.
Broyles, C. J., and Bloodworth, J., concur.
