Prohibition officers raided defendant’s residence in Coffee county, and fоund one-half pint оf whisky in a trunk in the back rоom of the house, two empty bottles in the kitchen, each of which cоntained less than а teasp.oоnful of rum, and several empty bottles in thе yard. The defendant was convictеd and sentenced to nine months in the сhaingang.
Under the еvidence, the quеstion of possеssion was proрerly submitted to the jury.
Exception was rеserved to a stаtement of the solicitor in his address to the jury, in which he said:
“Thе officers found bottles all scattеred in the house аnd in the edge of the yard,’ they found two еmpty bottles in the kitchen safe with liquor in thеm, the evidencе of bootlegging down there at Mr. Key’s house.”
This statement wаs a legitimate argument based upon the testimony, and the objection of defendant was properly ovеrruled.
We find no prеjudicial error in thе record, and the judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed.
