Opinion

Townsend, J.

“Presence of a person at a distillery where intoxicating liquor is being made, and his flight on seeing an officer approaching, may, when not satisfactorily explained, authorize a jury to find him guilty of making such liquor. Whether an attempted explanation of such presence and conduct is reasonable and satisfactory is a question for the jury.” Smith v. State, 46 Ga. App. 351 (167 S. E. 714); Flint v. State, 29 Ga. App. 222 (114 S. E. 585); Yonce v. State, 154 Ga. 419 (114 S. E. 325); Chester v. State, 74 Ga. App. 667 (41 S. E. 2d, 162); Houston v. State, 81 Ga. App. 551 (59 S. E. 2d, 290); Johnson v. State, 79 Ga. App. 210 (3) (53 S. E. 2d, 498); Akin v. State, 66 Ga. App. 582 (18 S. E. 2d, 566); Weaver v. State, 50 Ga. App. 178 (1) (177 S. E. 349); Nelson v. State, 84 Ga. App. 596 (5) (66 S.
