State v. Seals

Quriani'

Thiscase is appealed by the State to obtain a decision upon a question of law. That question is, can the admission of the defendant, on a trial for bigamy, be given in evidence to prove his marriage ? The authorities are conflicting upon the point, but the preponderance is in favor of the admission of such evidence. 2 Phil, on Ev., by Cow. & Hill, 4 Am. Ed. p. 279, n. And we think reason lies on the same side. And the evidence being admissible, it follows *353that the jury may convict upon it. See the cases cited in the Ind. Dig., p. 10, under the head of Accomplice.
