v.
STATE OF INDIANA.
No. 29,699.

Supreme Court of Indiana.
Filed October 16, 1959.
*67 Rufus C. Kuykendall and John Heeter, both of Indianapolis, for appellant.
Edwin K. Steers, Attorney General and Merl M. Wall, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
JACKSON, J.
This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction in the Marion County Criminal Court, No. 1, on a charge of violation of the 1935 Narcotics Act, Acts 1935, ch. 280, § 2, p. 1351, being § 10-3520 Burns' 1956 Replacement.
The affidavit charging the offense, omitting the formal parts thereof, reads as follows, to-wit:
*68 Thereafter on April 24, 1958, a trial was had, by the court, without the intervention of a jury, resulting in the conviction of the defendant. At the conclusion of all the evidence the defendant moved for a discharge, said motion being overruled by the court.
On April 25, 1958, defendant filed his motion for a new trial, said motion being overruled on May 12, 1958.
The appellant assigns as error the action of the trial court (1) in overruling appellant's motion to quash the indictment herein, and (2) in overruling appellant's motion for a new trial.
Appellant's motion for a new trial contains six specifications, only two of which we deem properly before this court for consideration, viz:
The statute on which this prosecution was based, Acts 1935, ch. 280, § 2, p. 1351, being § 10-3520 Burns' 1956 Replacement, reads as follows:
Acts 1935, ch. 280, § 18, p. 1351, being § 10-3536, Burns' 1956 Replacement, provides further,
The record in this case discloses that on March 6, 1958, the defendant (appellant) was arrested in the city of Indianapolis while in a car parked in the middle of Franklin Street in said city for improper parking. At the time of arrest he was searched, the search disclosing among other things, 20 capsules containing a white powder. At the trial evidence was adduced that an analysis was made of one of the capsules which showed that the powder therein contained heroin.
We think the evidence above summarized was sufficient to sustain the decision of the trial court, and the decision is not contrary to law. Smith v. State (1938), 214 Ind. 169, 13 N.E.2d 562, 14 N.E.2d 1017; Lander v. State (1958), 238 Ind. 680, 154 N.E.2d 507.
There was no error in overruling the motion for a new trial.
Judgment affirmed.
