Head Matter:
WEATHERLY v. STATE.
(No. 11210.)
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
March 7, 1928.
Rehearing Denied May 16, 1928.
S. J. Osborne, of Breckenridge, for appellant.
A. A. Dawson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
IiATTIMORE, J.
Conviction for possessing intoxicating liquor for purposes of sale; punishment, one year in the penitentiary.
' Officers, with the consent of appellant, searched his restaurant and found therein a quantity of whisky and a large number of various kinds of containers, all of which had the odor and evidence of the prior presence of liquor in them.
There are two hills of exception, each presenting substantially the same complaint. It appears that when the officers found the whis-ky they took same into where appellant was and then arrested him. He followed one of the officers out on the porch of the restaurant and there said to him that h.e hoped they would make it light on him, as it was the first he had had or handled for a long time. The reception of this statement is the matter complained of in the bills of exception. We have no doubt of the propriety of receiving this testimony upon the ground that it was a part of the res gestee. Plunk v. State, 101 Tex. Cr. R. 9, 274 S. W. 156.
Finding no error in the record, the judgment will be affirmed.
