State v. Watzek

Lees, C.

Appellant was tried on the charge of being the father of the illegitimate child of a young woman 26 years of age, was found guilty and has appealed from an order denying his motion for a new trial,

There was ample evidence to justify the jury in finding the appellant guilty, and we pass directly to the principal questions discussed in the briefs.

Over objection, the midwife who attended the mother when the child was born testified that while in travail she said appellant was the father of her child. The objection should have been sustained. State v. Spencer, 73 Minn. 101, 75 N. W. 893.…
