Syllabus

<p>Selling liquor without license — evidence.</p> <p>L On a trial of the charge of carrying on the business of selling liquors without a license, where the proof shows, only, that the defendant, at the request of another, took the latter’s money and with it went off and procured for the latter some •whiskey, without showing where or from whom the whiskey was obtained, and without showing that the defendant was the owner of, or in any way interested in, such whiskey before its delivery to the party for whom it was obtained, or that he was interested in any way in the money given him with which it was procured, such evidence is wholly insufficient to establish the charge.</p> <p>■3. The statute prohibits the selling of liquors without a license, but there is no law making the purchase of liquor either for one’s self or for another a criminal offense.</p>
