¶1— Appellant was convicted of having the unlawful possession of certain intoxicating liquors as defined by §8356d Burns’ Supp. 1918, Acts 1917 p. 15. *506The affidavit on which the judgment of conviction was based alleges, disjunctively, that appellant had possession of the whisky, “for the purpose and with the intent of unlawfully selling, bartering, exchanging, giving away, furnishing or otherwise disposing of the same contrary to the form of the statute in such cases made and provided.” A motion to quash was addressed to this affidavit, which was overruled, and this ruling is assigned as error.
¶2In a recent case, in which a similar question was presented, this court held that the several purposes for which the liquor was kept, when more than one is alleged, should be joined by the-conjunctive “and,” and not by the disjunctive “or,” and that the use of the latter connective in such a pleading renders it defective for uncertainty. State v. Sarlin (1919), ante 359, 123 N. E. 800. See, also, State v. Hatfield (1915), 87 N. J. Law 124, 93 Atl. 677; State v. Shadroui (1915), 89 Vt. 520, 96 Atl. 8; People, ex rel. v. Schatz (1900), 50 App. Div. 544, 64 N. Y. Supp. 127; State v. Seeger (1902), 65 Kan. 711, 70 Pac. 599.
¶3Under the rule as announced in the cases cited, the motion to quash should have been sustained on the ground of uncertainty in the affidavit to which it was addressed.
¶4Judgment reversed, with instructions to sustain appellant’s motion to quash the affidavit. '
