No appearance made for appellee.


MR. PRESIDING JUSTICE ENGLISH delivered the opinion of the court.

The trial court granted defendant's motion to quash a search warrant, apparently on the ground that the affidavit therefor was insufficient. The State appeals, contending that the affidavit in support of the warrant contained facts sufficient to establish its veracity and reliability, and that there was probable cause to believe an offense had been or was being committed.
