        "text": "Humphreys, J.\nAppellant was indicted, tried and convicted in the circuit court of Sebastian County, Greenwood District, for'manufacturing intoxicating liquor, and, as a punishment therefor, was adjudged to serve a term of one year in the State Penitentiary.\nThe testimony introduced by the State showed that appellant\u2019s home, in said district and county, was searched by the sheriff of the county and one of his deputies, under authority of a search warrant, and that, although appellant denied having chock beer in the house, they discovered, under a loose plank of the floor in one of the rooms,'a sixteen-gallon keg, partially buried, which contained a quantity of chock beer, and five full jars and a dozen or more jars partly full of the stuff. There was a dipper and a strainer in the keg with which to dip the beer off. Appellant admitted, after the discovery of the chock beer, that he made it out of certain ingredients in the house, and an analysis of the beer by the chemist disclosed that the beer contained six per cent alcohol by volume. Appellant and his little daughter, twelve years of age, resided in their home. A man by the name of Disbaugh stayed around the house a part of the time, but disappeared a few days before the search was made.\nThe first ground in appellant\u2019s motion for a new trial is that the court permitted'the prosecuting attorney to state, in his closing argument, that the fact that the beer was found in appellant\u2019s house showed that he either manufactured it or was interested in the manufacture thereof. We think this a legitimate inference from the testimony, which the prosecuting attorney had a right to draw and argue. It is perfectly proper for a prosecuting attorney to draw legitimate inferences from the testimony and urge them as reasons for a conviction.\nThe second ground in appellant\u2019s motion for a new trial is that the trial court permitted the prosecuting attorney to state that it would be better-for his little girl if he were convicted, for it would take her out of the influence of and away from the immorality in which she was participating. This argument was made by the prosecuting attorney in his closing -speech, in response to an argument made by appellant\u2019s attorney to the effect that he should not be convicted, for he would be taken away from his little girl. If it was error for the prosecuting attorney\" to make this argument, it was invited by appellant\u2019s own attorneys, and he cannot complain. Davis v. State, 150 Ark. 500, 234 S. W. 482; Seaton v. State, 151 Ark. 240, 235 S. W. 794.\nThe third, fourth and fifth grounds for appellant\u2019s motion for a new trial are that the verdict is contrary to the law and the evidence. The testimony' is legally sufficient to support the verdict, and the law applicable to the facts was correctly declared byr the court.\"\nNo error appearing, the judgment is affirmed.",
