ON MOTION FOR REHEARING.
The wife of appellant’s codefendant, Mrs. Burnett, was a witness for the State. She swore that her husband and appellant made whiskey in a little house near the Morris dwelling during the day before the officers came; that in the afternoon of said day she went to said little house and watched them for a while; that she and Mrs. Morris went to the little house that night and helped' bring the whiskey back; she and Mrs. Morris helped. It is obvious that the only “helping” done by said witness was in this transportation. The law specifically says the transporter is not an accomplice. The action of the learned trial court in refusing to charge that Mrs. Burnett was an accomplice, and also refusing to submit that question to the jury, was proper. The only other question raised in appellant’s motion was, we think, correctly decided in the original opinion.
The motion for rehearing will be overruled.

Overruled.
