1Opinion of the CourtDibell, J.
The defendant Madden and another were indicted for the crime of abortion. Upon his separate trial Madden was convicted. He appeals from the order denying his motion for a new trial.
Madden’s codefendant, a woman, was a witness for the state. On her cross-examination the defendant offered to show that she had been promised immunity if she would testify. The proffered testimony was rejected. The fact of promised immunity was competent as affecting her credibility and its rejection was error. Black v. State, 59 Wis. 471, 18 N. W. 457; Allen v.
