Conviction for possessing intoxicating liquor for purposes of sale; punishment, three years in the penitentiary.

Officers found a still and 35 or 40 gallons of whisky in a pasture in Callahan county. The only person found by them anywhere in the neighborhood of said still was a man named Whatley. This man testifies for the state, and is the only witness who in anywise connects appellant with the whisky so found. He testifies that he had been at the still for a number of days and that he and appellant had made the whisky in question on the day before the officers found it. As we understand this record, it falls entirely and almost exactly in line with what we said in Cate v. State, 100 Tex. Cr. R. 611, 272 S. W. 210. If Whatley manufactured such liquor in conjunction with appellant, he would be an accomplice. In fact,' he was indicted, according to his testimony. The indictment against appellant charged him in one count with the manufacture of intoxicating liquor and in another count with its possession. Whatley testified that he and appellant were jointly employed by the Rays, father and son, to make whisky for them. The charge of the court was excepted to for its failure to charge on the law of accomplice testimony. We believe the court should so have charged the jury.

The judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded.
