ant appealed to the circuit court, where defendant, being put to trial upon this complaint, demurred thereto upon these grounds: (1) That the complaint is vague and uncertain; (2) that it fails sufficiently to describe the offense charged or attempted to be charged against defendant; and (3) that it fails to charge with sufficient particularity the offense which defendant is called upon to defend. The trial court overruled the demurrer. Issue being joined, the jury returned a verdict of guilty, and there was judgment and sentence accordingly, from which defendant appeals. Thomas A. Curry, of Clanton, for appellant. Harwell G. Davis, Atty. Gen., for the State. FOSTER, J. The defendant was convicted of a violation of the prohibition laws.
