PER CURIAM. Plaintiff in error, Albert Williford, was convicted on an information charging that he did unlawfully sell to one J.C. Thomas, whisky, and was sentenced to pay a fine of fifty dollars and to be confined in the county jail for thirty days.

J.C. Thomas testified that the defendant sold him and Jeff Howard a couple of drinks of whisky and Howard paid for it. That the defendant at another time sold witness a drink of whisky for which he paid fifteen cents. This was all the evidence for the state.

Testifying in his own behalf the defendant Albert Williford denied that he sold the prosecuting witness any whisky; that the prosecuting witness came to him several times and asked him to sell him some whisky but that he never did.
