Porter v. State

Dissenting Opinion

Hill, C. J.,

dissenting. I believe the defendant’s testimony rebuts the statutory presumption of fraudulent intent.

Opinion of the Court

Powell, J.

This was a prosecution for cheating and swindling, under the “labor-contract law” of 1903 (Acts 1903, p. 90). The evidence, though very weak as to some of the salient elements of the offense, is not legally insufficient to support the verdict.

Judgment affirmed.
