Hallmark v. The State.
Decided April 28, 1944.
R. Tetry, for plaintiff in error.
J. R. Thompson Jr., solicitor, contra.

Opinion:
Broyles, O. J.
The defendant was convicted in the city court of .Columbus of the offense of vagrancy. Her motion for a new trial, based upon the general grounds, was overruled and she excepted to that judgment. Upon the trial an unimpeaehed witness testified that the accused was married to a soldier, and that she received $50 each month from the Government. The same witness testified that the defendant kept house for her and was paid $3.50 a week and her board, and that the defendant was also paid $2.50 a week by Mr. Elliot Gibbens for cleaning his house. Elliot Gibbens, an unimpeached witness, testified that he paid the defendant $5 every two weeks for cleaning his house. The foregoing evidence was uncontradicted. While the evidence for the State authorized a finding that the accused was a woman of bad character, her conviction for vagrancy was contrary to law and the evidence.
Judgment reversed.
MacIntyre and Gardner, JJ., concur.
