1919 OK CR 286
182 P. 251
16 Okl.Cr. 714
Decided: 10/14/1919
Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals

Appeal from County Court, Comanche County; R.J. Ray, Judge.

Joe Cuneo was convicted of a violation of the prohibitory liquor law, and he appeals. Affirmed.

J.F. Thomas, for plaintiff in error.

S.P. Freeling, Atty. Gen., and W.C. Hall, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

PER CURIAM. Plaintiff in error, Joe Cuneo, was convicted on a charge that he did have possession of intoxicating liquors with intent to sell the same, and his punishment fixed at a fine of $50 and 30 days' confinement in the county jail. From the judgment, he appeals.

The sole question presented is the sufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict. The fact that the defendant did have possession of whisky at his place of business was undisputed, and it was for the jury to determine on the evidence in the case as to whether or not he intended to sell the same. There is nothing in the record to indicate that the defendant did not have a fair trial.
