       PER CURIAM.

       This case comes to us upon a Clerk's Transcript.

       Defendant was charged in an indictment with the crime of Incest in violation of section 704.1, Code of Iowa, 1954, I.C.A. He pleaded not guilty. Upon trial to a jury he was convicted of the crime of Incest, as charged, and sentenced to imprisonment in the State penitentiary at Fort Madison, for a term not to exceed 25 years, and to pay the costs of the case. Defendant has appealed.

       We find no error and the judgment is therefore affirmed.
