On Rehearing.
 Insistence is now made that under the evidence the defendant was entitled to the affirmative charge as to count 1 of the indictment. This eharge was properly refused for two reasons: (1) Under the evidence the defendant was attempting to distill liquor, and even if he had not actually completed the manufacture, he could have be$n convicted under the first count of an attempt. Code 1923, § 3307. (2) The evidence was that “They (defendant and another) had six or eight barrels of beer there ready to make liquor and the still was full of beer.” If the beer was ready to make liquor it contained alcohol, and if it contained alcohol its man ufacture was a violation of law. Glaze v. State, 20 Ala. App. 7, 100 So. 629.
The application for rehearing is overruled.
