Washington Supreme Court
Appeal from Superior Court, Clarke County.—Hon. Abraham L. Miller, Judge.

The opinion of the court was delivered by
Gordon, C. J.
The defendant was convicted of the crime of incest. Por a reversal of the judgment he relies upon a single assignment of error. The question presented is, can the crime of incest be committed without the concurrent consent of both parties to the sexual act ? That it cannot has been held in numerous cases: De Groat v. People, 39 Mich. 124; Baumer v. State, 49 Ind. 544 (19 Am. Rep. 691); State v. Thomas, 53 Iowa, 214 (4 N. W. 908); State v. Jarvis, 20 Ore. 437 (23 Am. St. Rep. 141); Yoeman v. State, 21 Neb. 171 (31 N. W. 69).
