OPINION TEXT STARTS HERE
Appeal from District Court, Winneshiek County; A. N. Hobson, Judge.
“Not to be officially reported.”
The defendant was convicted upon a charge of adultery, and appeals. Affirmed.George W. Adams and E. R. Acres, for appellant.
H. W. Byers, Atty. Gen., and C. W. Lyon, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
The only question raised in argument by counsel for appellant is upon the constitutionality of the indeterminate sentence law, under the terms of which the appellant has been sentenced to the penitentiary for the maximum period fixed by the statute. This question was fully considered by us in the case of State v. Duff (decided October 19, 1909) 122 N. W. 829, and the validity of the act was there sustained.
No good reason is given for changing the conclusion there reached, and the judgment appealed from is therefore affirmed.
