Davidson v. Davidson
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, entered in the New York county clerk’s office on the 26th day of April, 1909, after trial at Special Term.
1Per curiam
The evidence points irresistibly to the guilt of the defendant. While it is possible that the extreme intimacy between the defendant and the woman not his wife may have stopped short of actual guilt, it is in the highest degree improbable. The mere fact that no one saw the act performed is not controlling. The judgment should be reversed, new trial ordered, costs to appellant to abide event. Present — Patterson, P. J., Ingraham, McLaughlin, Laughlin and Scott, JJ. Laughlin, J,, dissented. Judgment reversed, new trial ordered, costs to appellant to abide event.
