Sale of Intoxicating Liquor — Sufficiency of Evidence.
Where the evidence in a case is conflicting, it is the province of the jury
to reconcile such conflicts,' and if they cannot do so, and they accept that of the State as true, we recognize their right to do so. No errors being pointed out in the record and it appearing that the testimony of the State sufficiently justifies the verdict of the jury, the cause is affirmed.
