On Rehearing.
PER CURIAM.
On rehearing it is urged that the punishment as modified by this court is still excessive as to each of the defendants.
As to the defendant Roberts we feel the punishment as modified to sixty days and $500 is justified under the evidence.
Harrington was only an employee of Roberts, and the county attorney who prosecuted the case has stated in open court to us that he feels that the punishment should be further modified as to Harrington, who he asserts was violating the law for the first time and is no longer engaged in the liquor business.
It is, therefore, ordered that the judgment and sentence as to the defendant James E. Harrington is further modified to a sentence of sixty days in the county jail and a fine of $50 and costs.
Mandate should be issued forthwith.
