Bloodworth, J.

The accused was indicted for making alcoholic liquors. He pleaded “former jeopardy,” alleging “that ‍​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‍he plead guilty in the United States district court for the southern district of Georgia for the offense of violation of the internal revenue laws of the United ‍​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‍States; . . that the offense charged is the very same offense as that he is now charged with; that the United States district court for the southern district ‍​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‍of Georgia had full jurisdiction to try him.” The plea was properly stricken. It shows on its face that he pleaded guilty in a different jurisdiction and to an ‍​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‍indictment which charged a violation of a Federal *350statute, and to the commission of a crime wb ich is entirely different and distinct from the one for which he ‍​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‍was indicted and tried in the State court.

Judgment affirmed.
