Defendant was indicted and tried jointly with his wife on a charge of possessing less than a quart of whisky. Both were convicted, but only this defendant appeals. There was no sufficient evidence to connect this appellant with the possession of the bottle of whisky found in the actual possession of the codefendant. This appellant was not even present, and is not shown to have known of the existence of the whisky. This appellant was entitled to the general charge. Oldacre v. State, 16 Ala.
