Upon their motions the affidavits- were quashed and judgments rendered discharging them without day. The state appeals, and assigns that the court erred in sustaining said motions. The charging part of said affidavits is identical with that involved in State v. Bridgewater (1908), ante, 1. The same questions in regard to theii: sufficiency are presented and urged by counsel as in the latter appeal. Upon the authority of the decision in that case, the affidavits herein must be held sufficient.
