limit. Error was also baaed upon the
admission by the court of evidence of
other sales made by the defendant
personally to another party. This
testimony was afterwards stricken
out, and the jury were emphatically
Instructed to disregard It, which un
der the circumstances cured the error
of the court, if one was committed.
'"In view of the contention of the
defendant that his Intent in k?p:ns;
I the beer In his place was an inno
i cent one, the testimony was probab-
ly relevant. Whatever may be the
i rule in other states, we have fre
quently held that, where the Intent
or motive of a party in performing
an act is involved, evidence of facts
tending to throw light upon that
intent is admissible, even though it
tends to show that the party has
committed other offenres.
"There were also exceptions to the
refusal of the court tn givo certain
instructions requested by the defend
ant, but so far as such requests were
applicable to the case at bar. they
were covered by the general charge,
and the refusal of others was proper.
"It Is clear from the evidence that
the defendant was absolutely and
without question guiity of the of
fense charged, and the record In
dicates that he had a fair trial and
that the law was fairly and fully
given to the Jury in the charge of
thd court."
