State v. Nydem

Opinion of the Court

BURGESS, J.

Defendant was indicted for rape. He was afterwards tried and convicted and his punishment fixed at imprisonment in the penitentiary for ninety-nine years. He appeals.

From an examination of the record we find no evidence whatever connecting the defendant with the offense, or that even tends to do so. This is also the opinion of the Attorney-General, who recommends the reversal of the judgment and the discharge of the defendant. It is so ordered.

All concur.
