99 So 50

Sims v. State

Alabama Court of Appeals

Decided January 22, 1924

Alabama Court of Appeals · decided 1924-01-22

Decided 1924-01-22

SAMFORD, J.

¶1 The only question involved in this case is: Should the court have given the general affirmative charge as requested by defendant? The corpus delicti in this case is the possession of a still for the unlawful purpose condemned by the statute. There was abundant evidence of this fact. McBroom v. State (Ala. App.) 94 South. 790. 1 Coupling this with other evidence tending to connect the defendant with the possession, together with his voluntary confession, warranted the jury in returning a verdict of guilt.

¶2 We find no error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.

¶3 Affirmed.
