Carnes v. State
110 S.W. 750; 53 Tex. Crim. 490; 1908 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 259
(South Western Reporter)
Carnes v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant was convicted of violating the local option law, and his punishment assessed at a fine of $50 and thirty days imprisonment in the county jail.
The indictment in the case charges that appellant sold intoxicating liquor to C. Wiltis. Proof shows a sale to one C. Willis. This constitutes a fatal variance between the allegation and the proof, and forces this court, under well known rules of law, to reverse this case, and it is so ordered.
Reversed and remanded.
