Opinion

4 Div. 922.

February 12, 1924.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Barbour County; J.W. Williams, Judge.

McDowell McDowell, of Eufaula, for appellant.

Harwell G. Davis, Atty. Gen., for the State.


An indictment charging the defendant with using abusive, insulting, or obscene language in the presence or hearing of a woman was preferred by the grand jury at the fall term, 1922, of the circuit court. He was tried and convicted, and upon failure to pay the fine of $100 assessed by the jury was duly sentenced to hard labor for the county. The appeal here is upon the record proper, without a bill of exceptions. No error appearing upon the record, the judgment appealed from is affirmed. Affirmed.
