Sims v. State
Alabama Court of Appeals · Decided January 22, 1924 · Samford
99 So. 50; 19 Ala. App. 555; 1924 Ala. App. LEXIS 21 (Southern Reporter)

Sims v. State

Opinion of the Court

SAMFORD, J.

The only question involved in this case is: Should the court have given the general affirmative charge as requested by defendant? The corpus delicti in this case is the possession of a still for the unlawful purpose condemned by the statute. There was abundant evidence of this fact. McBroom v. State (Ala. App.) 94 South. 790. 1 Coupling this with other evidence tending to connect the defendant with the possession, together with his voluntary confession, warranted the jury in returning a verdict of guilt.

We find no error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
