1Opinion of the CourtArmstrong, J.
An information was- filed in the county court of Beaver county in July, 1909, charging plaintiff in error with wilfully omitting, without lawful excuse, to furnish medical attendance to his minor child, Cora Owens.
It appears that this child was afflicted with typhoid fever during part of November and December, 1908; that the county health officer and other physicians and neighbors of the accused’ called upon and endeavored to induce him to permit the child to be attended by physicians and nurses. He refused to do so, even though the medical attendance was offered without expense.
