Tbe defendant was convicted of having in bis possession liquor upon wbicb tbe tax bad not been paid, and from judgment of imprisonment appealed, assigning as error tbe denial by tbe court of bis motion to suppress evidence of certain facts discovered by reason of tbe issuance of a search warrant.
Tbe affidavit, upon wbicb tbe search warrant was issued, was made by P. W. Brown, chief of police, wbo was tbe “complainant,” or if not *218 the complainant be was at least some “other person” and met the requirement of the statute, Public Laws 1937, ch. 339, sec. 1%, upon which the appellant relies, and therefore the facts discovered by reason of the search warrant were not rendered incompetent. There is nothing in the statute that requires the complainant or other person who makes the affidavit to state therein who his informant is, or which requires the informant to make the affidavit, as seems to be the contention of the appellant.
In the trial we find
No error.
