State v. Swan
State v. Swan
Opinion of the Court
Defendant was convicted on the charge of being a vagrant under Sec. 4789, R. S. 1909, and prosecutes the appeal from that judgment. The case was lodged in the Supreme Court on the theory that a constitutional question was involved. Upon examining the record, the Supreme Court found that the constitutional question was sought to be raised only by a motion in arrest of judgment and that this motion was not before it for consideration for two distinct reasons; the first of which was that no exception was preserved to the overruling of the motion
In accordance with the statute, we have examined-the entire record proper for error, but none appears. The indictment is in due form in every respect and it appears defendant was duly arraigned and pleaded not guilty thereto. He was thereupon accorded - a trial by jury. By its verdict the jury found him guilty as charged and .assessed his punishment in accordance with the statutory provision. On this verdict a judgment in due form was entered by a court of competent jurisdiction and as we are not permitted to review the evidence, instructions and other matters of exception for the reason above stated, the judgment should not be disturbed. We ascertain no error whatever in the record proper. The judgment should be affirmed. It is so ordered.
