Elkins, Plaintiff in error, vs. The State, Defendant in error.
    
      November 9
    
    December 3, 1929.
    
    
      The cause was submitted for the plaintiff in error on the brief of Keller, Keller & O’Leary of Appleton, and for the defendant in error on that of the Attorney General, J. B. Messerschmidt, assistant attorney general, and Frederick Aebischer of Chilton.
   Stevens, J.

The defendant does not contend that her roadhouse was not used for immoral purposes. Her defense is that she had no knowledge that the premises owned and occupied by her were being used for such purposes.

A careful examination of the entire record leaves no reasonable doubt in the minds of the members of this court that the defendant was the proprietor of a house of ill-fame and that she had full knowledge that her property was being used for that purpose by the inmates of the place.

By the Court. — Judgment affirmed.
