90 So. 686 | La. | 1922
Appellant, a white man, was convicted of concubinage or cohabitation with a colored woman, in violation of Act 206 of 1910, p. 344. He filed a motion in arrest of judgment because the indictment charged merely that the offense was committed on a specified day, without averring that it had continued for a longer period. The bill of exceptions taken to the overruling of the motion presents the only question for decision.
In State v. Rose, 147 La. 243, 84 South. 643, we held that it was not essential to a valid indictment for keeping . a disorderly house, defined in the statute and described in the indictment as a place where lewd dancing was permitted, to allege that the offense continued longer than the day on which it was charged to have been committed.
The verdict and sentence appealed from are affirmed.
