Commonwealth v. Heaton

Cunningham, J.,

Opinion by

Appellant, John J. Heaton, was found guilty by a jury in Delaware County, under three indictments, con solidated for trial, charging assault with intent to ravish, indecent assault, and assault with intent to commit sodomy. A sentence of a fine of $500, and imprisonment in the county jail for not less than one nor more than five years was pronounced against him at No. 300 September Sessions, 1940, upon the verdict of guilty of assault with intent to ravish; sentence was suspended upon the other verdicts.

A reversal of the judgment and a new trial are now sought upon…
