People v. O'Melia

Opinion of the Court

HERRICK, J.

This is almost entirely a question of fact. The recorder had the witnesses before him, and could judge of their truthfulness. Whether he kept the house himself, or leased it to another, to be used as a house where people could have unlawful sexual intercourse, he was equally guilty. People v. Erwin, 4 Denio, 129.

The judgment should be affirmed. All concur.
