Freeman v. People
54 Ill. 162 | Ill. | 1870
delivered the opinion of the Court:
The only question necessary to notice, arising on this record, is as to the competency of the putative father of an illegitimate child as a witness in his own .behalf on the trial of the charge.
It is settled by the case of Starr v. The People, 50 Ill. 52, that he is a competent witness.
For the error in rejecting him the judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
Judgment reversed.
