Opinion of the Court

HAWKINS, Judge.

Conviction is for possessing intoxicating liquor for the purpose of sale, punishment being one year in the penitentiary.

The indictment is fatally defective. See Offield v. State (Tex. Cr. App.) 75 S.W.(2d) 882, and cases following it. The reasons for such holding appear in the opinion in the case cited.

The judgment is reversed, and the prosecution ordered dismissed under the present indictment.
