1Opinion of the Court
HAWKINS, Judge;.
Conviction was for possession of intoxicating liquor. Penalty assessed at one and one-half years in the penitentiary.
By amendment of the prohibition law passed by the Second Called Session of the Thirty-seventh legislature, it is not now an offense to possess intoxicating liquor, unless the same is had for the purpose of sale, and it is necessary to allege and to prove that it was so possessed for the purpose of sale before an offense is charged, or a conviction can be had.
