JOHNSON v. STATE.
No. 13101.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
March 12, 1930.
Rehearing Denied April 16, 1930.
Seb E. ,Caldwell, of Mt. Pleasant, for appellant.
A. A. Dawson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for-the State.

Opinion:
DATTIMORE, J.
Conviction for manufacturing intoxicating, liquor; punishment, one year in the penitentiary.
The evidence is ample to- justify the conclusion of guilt reached by the jury. Appellant was observed engaged in the manufacture of whisky. He had what the witnesses called a complete outfit. Whisky was-running from the worm. Appellant was observed to place a jar under said worm. Seventeen and one-half gallons of whisky were-found near by.
The record contains four hills of exception. The first complains of testimony to the effect that appellant had a "complete outfit" when discovered by the officers. The bill is qualified by the trial court, who calls attention to the fact that witness had already testified that he knew from his own knowledge and experience what it took to constir tute a complete outfit. There was no error in admitting the testimony. Bill No. 2 presents a similar complaint to the testimony of another witness who said, "Yes sir, I think I know what it takes to constitute a complete outfit for making whisky." We perceive no error in the admission of this testimony.
The. testimony showed that appellant's son was present at the still. We see no objection to the argument of the prosecution in suggesting to the jury that they take this case and give this man such punishment as a "Wild cat liquor maker with his boy there training him up deserves." Bill of exceptions No. 4 sets out appellant's objection to the statement made by the prosecuting attorney to the effect that the accused bought sugar and meal and carried it over there. The objection was that there was no such evidence in the ease. There is no certificate of the trial court to the bill of exceptions certifying that this objection had foundation in: the facts.
Being unable to agree with any of the contentions of appellant, the judgment will be affirmed.
