1. Though the evidence upon which the conviction rests is ‍‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‍circumstantial, it is sufficient to exclude every other reasonable hypothesis than that of the guilt of the accused.

2. The evidence ‍‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‍as to the finding of a still and eight hundred gallons of. mash three quarters of a mile from the defendant’s ‍‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‍house, when taken in connection with the other evidence in the case, was not inadmissible.
