McMichen v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided July 21, 1933 · Guerry
47 Ga. App. 240; 170 S.E. 301; 1933 Ga. App. LEXIS 359

McMichen v. State

Opinion of the Court

Guerry, J.

In repeated rulings of this court, presence at a still in actual operation, and flight therefrom on approach of officers, has been held sufficient to sustain a conviction of manufacturing whisky. The explanation of such presence is a question for the jury. The court therefore did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, O. J., and Maolntyre, J., eoneur.
