Elmer Leeper was convicted of having the unlawful possession of intoxicating liquor, and appeals. Modified and affirmed.

Stanley B. Catlett, for plaintiff in error.

J. Berry King, Atty. Gen., for the State.

PER CURIAM. The plaintiff in error, hereinafter called defendant, was convicted in the county court of Okfuskee county of having the unlawful possession of whisky, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $250 and to serve 90 days in the county jail.

The record discloses that at the time charged, officers with a search warrant found on premises adjoining that of defendant a half gallon of whisky. There is also testimony that the defendant at the time said the whisky was his and that he would come in later and plead guilty. The evidence of defendant's possession is weak.
