Craven v. State

Mr. ■Chief Justice Green

delivered the opinion of the Court.

The plaintiff in error was convicted of the violation of one of our liquor laws and has appealed in error to this court.

The evidence upon which this conviction rests was procured through the instrumentality of a search warrant based upon an affidavit of the sheriff, made on the information and belief of that officer, that probable cause, existed to justify the writ. The character of his information was not disclosed. We reiterate our announcement lately made in Elliott v. State, 256 S. W. 431, ante, p. 414, that such a warrant is void.
