    Adams v. State
    No. 39971
    March 5, 1956
    85 So. 2d 908
    
      D. Gary Sutherland, Hattiesburg, for appellant.
    
      
      John Price, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Jackson, for appellee-
   Gillespie, J.

At a trial for criminal contempt for violating an injunction against the possession of intoxicating liquors, it was proven that Adams had in his possession a quantity of intoxicating liquor. Appellant contends that the State failed to prove him guilty of criminal contempt beyond a reasonable doubt because it was not shown that he was able to comply with the injunction; that it was shown by the testimony that the liquor he possessed was “drinking whiskey” kept for his personal use; that he was addicted to drinking whiskey, and was thereby unable to comply with the decree enjoining him from possessing liquor. This argument is unusual and unsound.

Affirmed.
