Check Treatment

Conviction is for possessing whisky at a place where only beer could legally be sold under a "beer permit," punishment being a fine of $100.00.

The statute under which this prosecution proceeded was held inoperative because of repugnant penalties for the same offense in No. 19804, M. M. Moran v. State, opinion this date [page 645 of this volume.]

The same reasons here make it imperative to reverse the judgment and order the dismissal of the present prosecution.
