116 P. 356
6 Okl.Cr. 741
Case Number: No. A-715
Decided: 07/03/1911
Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals

Appeal from District Court, Greer County; G.A. Brown, Judge.

Grover Kester was convicted of selling liquor to a minor, and appeals. Reversed.

C.C. Wells and C.G. Hornor, for plaintiff in error.

Chas. West, Atty. Gen., and Smith C. Matson, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

RICHARDSON, Special Judge.

This appeal is from a conviction upon an information filed in the district court of Greer county, charging the sale of liquor to a minor. Upon the authority of Nowakowski v. State, ante, 116 P. 351, just decided, the trial court was without jurisdiction of the cause; and the information is not transferable to the county court. Fred Wychoff v. State, ante, 116 P. 355, just decided.

The judgment of the lower court is therefore reversed, and the cause remanded, with directions to dismiss the same.
