Grayson v. State

148 S.E. 309, 39 Ga. App. 673, 1929 Ga. App. LEXIS 503

Opinion

Luke, J.

1. In proving the time of the commission of an offense the State is not, as a general rule, restricted to proof of the date alleged in the indictment, but is permitted to prove its commission on any date within the statute of limitations. Penal Code (1910), § 954.

2. Where one is on trial for the offense of having intoxicating liquors in his possession in a described automobile at a designated point, evidence tending to show that he had such liquors in his possession at another place shortly before the particular transaction alleged in the indictment is admissible as a circumstance pointing to his guilt.

3. The evidence authorized the verdict, and for no reason pointed out did the court err in overruling the motion for a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, G. J., and Bloockoorth, J., concur.
