Appellant said that he had some at home in his trunk; that he paid appellant $3 for the whisky, and went to appellant’s home, and appellant’s brother showed him which.was appellant’s trunk, and he went into it and got a quart of whisky. This was a sale, and the court did not err in so holding.
The judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed.
