Ira Moose was jointly charged with the defendant and pleaded guilty to the charge; testified that he had bought this car a few days before from the defendant, and that defendant knew nothing of the liquor being in the car.

Defendant, testifying for himself, said that he did not own the car, and that he did not know anything about the liquor; that he did not know whether he broke any of the liquor in the car and did not know why he fled from the officers. It was admitted that the title to the car was still in the name of the defendant, although he claimed to have sold it to Moose.

Defendant contends that this evidence is insufficient to support the verdict of the jury.

All of the facts and circumstances in the case establish the guilt of defendant beyond a reasonable doubt.

For the reasons stated, the cause is affirmed.
