The only question necessary to be considered is the sufficience of the evidence to sustain the conviction. The state called one witness, M.L. Conner, who testified that he was a farmer, had lived about a mile and a half south of Dustin for five years, that during that time he had known the defendant, and about the 31st day of January, 1913, he bought a quart of whiskey from him at his home in the town of Dustin, paying therefor two dollars.
