WEDMORE v. State of Indiana

This is an appeal from a criminal action charging the appellants and one Holderman of contributing to the delinquency of minors by encouraging them “to use intoxicants, to-wit: beer.” The appellants were tried and found guilty by a jury as charged, and were sentenced to pay a fine of $250 each. Judgment was rendered accordingly, from which this appeal is taken.

Appellants assign error in the overruling of three separate motions to be discharged for lack of prosecution under the “term statutes,” §§9-1402 and 9-1403 (Acts 1905, ch. 169, §§219 and 220, p. 584; 1927, ch. 132, §12, p. 411).
