Opinion
No. 25,806.
Filed July 3, 1930.
From Boone Circuit Court; Jere West, Special Judge.
Prosecution against Arthur Beck for making a false statement of his financial condition for the purpose of procuring credit (§ 2951 Burns 1926). From a judgment quashing the indictment, the State of Indiana appealed. Affirmed.
James M. Ogden, Attorney-General, John A. Sunderland, Prosecuting Attorney, Roy W. Adney, Charles D. Orear and Jones, Hammond Buschmann, for appellant.
Rogers Smith and Parr Parr, for appellee.
The identical question involved in this case was decided by this court in State v. Billings (1929), ante 135, 168 N.E. 453. On authority of that case, the judgment herein should be affirmed. Each side has filed a petition for oral argument; but, as the counsel for both the appellant and appellee filed briefs in the Billings case on the petition for rehearing, which petition has been denied, it appears that an oral argument is not necessary. The petitions for oral argument are denied.
Judgment affirmed.
