Alabama Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the Court

SAMEORD; J.

It is the law, as stated in Moon’s Case, 95 South. 830, 2 and many other adjudications by this court, that cases involving a violation of prohibition statutes are to be tried upon the same rules of evidence as obtain in other criminal statutes. This rule obtains also with reference to other, rules of law governing criminal trials. One of these is, where there is evidence from which an inference can fairly be drawn that the defendant is guilty, and the jury so finds, the verdict will not be disturbed on appeal. Gidley v. State, 19 Ala. App. 318, 97 South. 170.
