Hough, J.
The defendant was indicted in the county of Gasconade for the crime of bigamy, charged to have been committed by marrying one Jackson Hughes, who, it is averred, had at the time a lawful wife living. The unlawful marriage is charged to have been contracted in the county of Maries, and the defendant is also charged in the same count with having cohabited with the said Hughes in the county of Gasconade.
1. bigamy: jurisdlci:on' Cohabitation within this State,.by persons unlawfully married, does not of itself constitute the commission of ^ ?rime °f bigamy in the county where such cohabitation takes place, unless the ■second unlawful marriage was contracted or solemnized without this State. Section 1535 of the Revised Statutes, is as follows: “Evéry person having a husband or wife living; who shall marry another person without this State, in any case whez’e such marriage would be punishable if contracted or solemnized within this State, and shall afterward cohabit with such other person within this State, shall be adjudged guilty of bigazhy, and punished in the same manner as if such second marriage had taken place within this State.” This section can have no application to the defendant, for the additional reason, that she is chaz’ged to have been unmarried when she intermazuied with Hughes. The allegation of cohabitation, therefore, charges no offense, under the statute against bigamy.
2. criminal law: apprehension oí offender, ns ground of jurisdiction. The circuit court of Gasconade county had no jurisdiction to try the defendant for the crime charged by reasou of the fact that she was apprehended in A that county. When the apprehension of the c* offender is made a ground of jurisdiction, under section 1536 of the Revised Statutes, such apprehension must have occurred prior to the finding of the indictment, and must be alleged in the indictment. State v. Griswold, 53 Mo. 181.
*573It is unnecessary to notice other objections to the indictment.
•The defendant having been indicted in a county other than that m which the crime charged is alleged to have been committed, the judgment of the circuit court sustaining the demurrer to the indictment will be affirmed. Ex parte Slater, 72 Mo. 102; State v. Hiram Wells.
The other judges concur.
