Sewell v. The State.
Decided October 22, 1912.
Accusation of keeping liquor at place of business; from city court of Carrollton — Judge Beall. July 18, 1912.
Newell & Fielder, for plaintiff in error.
G. E. Boop, solicitor, contra.

Opinion:
Hill, C. J.
The evidence in this case conclusively showing that the intoxicating liquor found in the place of business of the accused was brought and placed therein without his knowledge or consent, and that he was in no wise connected therewith, and it not appearing that he had any knowledge that the liquor was there, the verdict of conviction was without evidence to support it, and was therefore unauthorized by law. Judgment reversed.
