MORROW, Judge.

—The appellant is charged with the unlawful manufacture of intoxicating liquors. He ‍‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍entered a plea of guilty, and was assessed the lowest penalty. Under these circumstances he is not in position to urge as a ground for ‍‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍reversal the insufficiency of the evidence to prove his guilt. Doane v. State, 36 Texas Crim. App., 468; Shelton v. State, 30 Texas, 431; Woodall v. ‍‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍State, 58 Texas Crim. Rep., 513, 126 S. W. Rep., 592; Josef v. State, 26 S. W. Rep., 213. If we were to look to the evidence, ‍‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍however, it is sufficient to sustain the verdict. He admitted that he made whisky, and further proof was not required to show that the liquor ‍‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍was intoxicating. Rutherford v. State, 49 Texas Crim. App., 21.

The judgment is affirmed.
