275 P. 660 | Okla. Crim. App. | 1929
The plaintiff in error hereinafter called defendant, was charged in the city court of Ardmore with occupying a room for the purpose of prostitution. From a conviction in the city court, he appealed to the county court, and, upon conviction, a fine of $19 was assessed, from which he has appealed to this court.
Section 472 of the ordinance of the city of Ardmore in part provides:
"It shall be unlawful for a bawd, a prostitute, loose woman, or any other person, to keep, occupy, or use any room, apartment, tenement for the purpose of prostitution or assignation. * * *"
The record discloses that at the time charged two policemen went to a room in the T.P. Rooming House and discovered defendant and one Bernice Settle in a room together, the woman in bed and defendant in a night garment. There was evidence that Bernice Settle had the reputation of being a prostitute. It is argued that this evidence of the reputation of Bernice Settle was incompetent, citing Young v. City of Ardmore,
The case is affirmed.
DAVENPORT and CHAPPELL, JJ., concur.
