Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The plaintiff in error, Eli Reed, was convicted in the superior court of Okmulgee county on an information charging that he did keep a place on dot 4, block 43, city of Okmulgee, with the intent and purpose of selling intoxicating liquors. Upon liis trial the jury returned a verdict, finding him guilty and assessing his punishment at 5 years' imprisonment in the state penitentiary, and a fine of $1,250. To reverse the judgment an appeal was prefeeted by filing in this court on August 9, 19i8, a petition in error with ease-made. This was a prosecution under section 4, chapter 26, Session Laws 1913, which provision in the case of Proctor v. State, 15 Okla. Cr. 338, 176 Pac. 771, was held unconstitutional and void. Por the reasons stated in the opinion in the Proctor Case, the judgment is reversed.
