LOWE." ], "opinions": [ { "text": "HUDSPETH, Justice.\nAppellant was convicted of transporting intoxicating liquor, and the jury found it to be his second offense. Judgment was entered on the verdict and the appellant sentenced, under 1929 Comp. St. \u00a7 72-104, to the penitentiary for a term of two years.\nThe main point relied upon for reversal by appellant, who stood upon his demurrer to the state\u2019s evidence and offered no testimony at the trial, is that the evidence is insufficient to sustain the conviction, in that it fails to show that the liquor was carried off the premises.\nFor the proposition that the mere transferring of liquor from one place to another on the same premises is not \u201ctransportation,\u201d appellant cites Mates v. State, 200 Ind. 551, 165 N. E. 316, 65 A. L. R. 980, and other cases reviewed in an A. L. R. annotation following the Mates Case. An examination of these eases fails to disclose one showing a similar state of facts to the case at bar. In most of them the \u201ctransportation\u201d consisted of moving liquor in or about the residence or place of business of the party on trial. In the case at bar the state proved to the satisfaction of the jury that the defendant and another transported the liquor in evidence from an old vacant house situate in a pasture for three-quarters of a mile or more toward a highway leading to the largest town in the county, and that, upon the approach of the sheriff, the defendant threw the liquor out of the car. No. evidence was offered as to the ownership or right to possession of the pasture, but in a recent case involving similar facts, it was held that the accused was guilty of illegal transportation of intoxicating liquor, notwithstanding the fact that he had not transported liquor off'his own premises. Scott v. State, 118 Tex. Cr. App. 322, 40 S.W.(2d) 104. The theory that the transportation must be from one \u201cpremises\u201d to another seems unsound. One might travel for a score or more miles in a straight line through land in one ownership on many of the ranches in this state. It is not believed that the Legislature intended that the penalties of the law could be avoided by the transporter of liquor remaining on land held in one ownership or in one inclosure, regardless of other facts and circumstances.\n\u201cThe word \u2018transportation\u2019 in the liquor law does not have a technical meaning, but is employed in its ordinary sense; that is, to convey from one place to another, any real carrying about.\u201d State v. Near, 214 Iowa, 1083, 243 N. W. 519, 520.\nSee, also, State v. Nichols, 330 Mo. 114, 49 S.W.(2d) 14; Howie v. State (Tex. Or. App.) 55 S.W.(2d) 838.\nNor is it necessary that the transportation be consummated or completed. State v. Reese, 36 N. M. 28, 7 P.(2d) 295; State v. Near, supra.\nWe hold that the carrying of liquor three-quarters of a mile, although within the pasture, constituted, under the facts and circumstances of this case, a \u201ctransportation\u201d within the meaning of the statute. The evidence of the state, discloses an active participation in the transportation of the liquor by\nthe defendant, and the trial court did not err in submitting the case to the jury.\nWe have fully considered the other points argued by appellant, but find no merit in any of them.\nThe judgment of the lower court should be affirmed, and it is so ordered.\nWATSON, C.
