U. S. Lesh, Attorney-General and Mrs. Edward Franklin White, Deputy Attorney-General, for the State.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
From a judgment upon a verdict of guilty, under a charge of possessing intoxicating liquor (Acts 1921 p. 736, §8356d Burns' Supp. 1921), appellant appeals and claims error, in the overruling of his motion to quash the affidavit.
On the authority of Crabbs v. State (1923), ante 248, and Powell v. State (1923), ante 258, the judgment is reversed, with instructions to the trial court to sustain the motion to quash.
