   ANDERSON, J.-

The defendant was indicted for living in adultery with one “Bass Clark,” a woman, and the fact that the said “Bass” was pregnant at the time of the trial was a circumstance, corroborating the state’s theory that the defendant had illicit intercourse with her.

This being the only exception disclosed by the record, the judgment of the county court is affirmed.

Affirmed.
