Description
Plaintiff, as defendant, was informed against on June 13, 1951, for feloniously assaulting a child under the age of sixteen years, to wit, of the age of seven years, and for taking indecent and improper liberties with the person of such child on or about the second day of June 1951. After appointment of counsel to represent defendant, he was arraigned and entered a plea of not guilty on July 23, 1951. In October following, the district attorney asked leave to amend the information by adding two more counts, one to the effect that defendant did willfully and feloniously entice and lure the child in question into a room or shop for the purpose of taking immodest, immoral and indecent liberties with such child; the other count was to the effect that at said time and place defendant did take immodest, immoral and indecent liberties with said child. Leave was granted to amend as outlined and a plea of not guilty was entered as to the additional counts. Trial was had to a jury on November 6, which returned a verdict of guilt as to the charge in the second and third count of the amended information. Application for probation was denied; present counsel for defendant entered their appearance on November 13, 1951, and thereafter filed motion for a new trial and motion for arrest of judgment; both motions were overruled by the court and defendant was sentenced to a term of not less than five, nor more than eight years on each count in the state penitentiary, the sentences to run concurrently.
