The defendant was charged by information with the crime of bootlegging, tried and convicted, and from the judgment entered on the verdict appeals.
The first complaint is as to statements made to the jury by the prosecuting attorney during the argument of the cause. This is attempted to be shown by affidavits, not brought to this court by bill of exceptions or statement of facts, but found only in the clerk's transcript. It has many times been held that affidavits certified in this manner cannot be considered. In addition to this the matter complained of was something that occurred in the presence of the court, and must be shown by the court’s certificate and not by affidavit. State v. Johnston, 83 Wash. 1, 144 Pac. 944; State v. Ross, 85 Wash. 218, 147 Pac. 1149.
*422The appellant also objects to the ruling of the trial court in admitting in evidence the bottle which the state claims contained the liquor sold by the appellant. The offense is alleged to have occurred on the evening of February 3,1924, at a dance hall in Stevens county. One Ole Aldrich testified that at this time he purchased a quart bottle of intoxicating liquor from the appellant. He stated that, after making the purchase, he and two others went a short distance from the hall and each of them had a drink out of the bottle, after which it was concealed under a tree. Later in the evening they had another drink. On the second occasion, a brother of one of the three observed them and, after they had concealed the bottle a second time went to the place of its hiding, got it and the following morning gave it to his father. The latter positively identified the bottle as the one given to him by his son. The son testified that it looked to be exactly the same. The bottle was sufficiently identified to authorize its admission in evidence as an exhibit.
Lastly the appellant complains of an instruction given to the jury. To this instruction there was no exception taken and the question is not here for review.
The judgment will be affirmed.
