14 Ga. App. 441 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1914
1. No error of law being complained of, and the verdict being amply sustained by evidence, the court did not err in denying the motion for a new trial.
2. This case is distinguished from that of Long v. State, 5 Ga. App. 176 (62 S. E. 711), by undisputed facts authorizing the conclusion that the crime of adultery had already been committed and was not merely in contemplation when the defendant was interrupted. The woman charged with the crime and her alleged paramour were alone in a one-room house, in the dark, when the officer knocked on the door and demanded admittance; a noise was heard as if some one was getting off a bed, a light was struck, and fifteen minutes later the woman opened the door,
