White v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · Decided March 13, 1935 · Morrow, Lattimore
81 S.W.2d 1117; 128 Tex. Crim. 501; 1935 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 253 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

White v. State

Addendum

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING.

LATTIMORE, Judge.

We are of opinion that the word “Spirituous” used in describing liquor in its manufacture, transportation or possession in violation of law, — sufficiently differentiates such liquor from beer or wine of permissible alcoholic content, and that the indictment in this case was sufficient without further description of the liquor alleged to be transported by the appellant.

The motion for rehearing is overruled.

Overruled.

Opinion of the Court

MORROW, Presiding Judge.

Unlawfully transporting in *502 toxicating liquor is the offense; penalty assessed at confinement in the penitentiary for two years.

The indictment appears regular and properly presented. The evidence heard in the trial court is not brought forward for review. The charge- of the court and matters of procedure appear regular.

The verdict assessed was confinement in the penitentiary for two years. The judgment, as written, is in accord with the Indeterminate Sentence Law, condemning appellant to confinement in the penitentiary for a period of not less than one nor more than two years.

The motion for new trial and other matters found in the record cannot be appraised in the absence of the facts upon which the conviction is based.

The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
