*575Opinion op the Court by

Judge Clay —

Reversing.

Appellant was ‍‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‍convicted under an indictment charging the violation of nearly every provision of the Prohibition ‍‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‍Act. The court should have sustained his demurrer to the indictment, or have required the ‍‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‍Commonwealth to elect. Neither was done, and the error compels a reversal of the ‍‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‍judgment. Caudill v. Commonwealth, 202 Ky. 730, — S. W. —.

Judgment reversed, and cause remanded ‍‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‍for a new trial consistent with this opinion.
