State v. Steen

Supreme Court of Iowa

Decided October 22, 1904PublishedCited by 9 opinions

Appeal from, Mahaska District Court.— Hon. John T. Scott, Judge. Indictment for keeping a bouse of ill fame. Tbe defendant was convicted and appeals.

1Opinion of the CourtWeaver, J.

I. Tbe first proposition advanced by counsel for appellánt is that tbe verdict of guilty is not warranted by tbe evidence. A reading of the record brings us to. a different conclusion. We shall not rehearse the testi*309mony. It is sufficient to say that, if believed by the jury, the case made by the witnesses for the State affords abundant ground for the appellant’s conviction. The credibility of the witnesses on either side was a matter for the jury alone to pass upon, and we find nothing to indicate that in so doing they were influenced by passion or prejudice.
