Head Matter:
FOX v. STATE.
No. 17182.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
Jan. 2, 1935.
’■Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
KRUEGER, Judge.
The appellant wds tried and convicted of the offense of possessing intoxicating liquor for the purpose of sale, and his punishment assessed at confinement in the state penitentiary for a term of two years.
An inspection of the indictment discloses that the same is defective in that it merely charges the appellant with the "unlawful possession, for the purpose of sale, of liquor capable of producing intoxication." In the case of Offield v. State, 75 S.W.(2d) 882, this court, in passing upon a similar indictment, held the same insufficient. We do not deem it necessary to again discuss the error therein pointed out, but refer to the same for a full discussion thereof.
It is therefore ordered that the judgment of the trial court be, and the same is hereby, reversed and the prosecution is ordered dismissed and the appellant discharged.
PER OURIAM.
The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the court.
