The defendant, appellant, was indicted jointly with his two sons for manufacturing prohibited liquors and for having in his possession a still. The 'trial judge gave the affirmative charge for the state as to Sam Lindsey and the affirmative charge ,for the defendant as to the other defendants.

The evidence was circumstantial. The still was found a short distance from appellant’s house, where he and his two sons, jointly indicted with him, lived, but the evidence fails to show that it was on his land or on land under his control. Evidence as to the road leading from .defendant’s house to the still and other circumstances against the defendant may be regarded as very strong, but the inferences to be drawn from ■ the evidence when it is susceptible to more • than one rational conclusion present questions for the jury. JThe trial court in a criminal case may announce presumptions of law to the jury, but it may not make 'out the guilt of the defendant by drawing an inference of fact; it is tbe exclusive province of tbe jury to draw such inference. Pearce v. State, 4 Ala. App. 32, 58 South. 996; 4 Michie’s Ala. Dig. p. 330, par. 499.

The trial judge erred in giving the affirmative charge for the state, and for this error the judgment of conviction must be reversed, and tbe cause remanded.

Reversed aad remanded.
