The defendant was convicted in the circuit court of Reynolds county on May 29, 1910, on an information charging him with having carnal knowledge of one Ida Speer, an unmarried female, between the ages of fourteen and eighteen years, of previous chaste character. The record proper shows that this was the.second conviction of the defendant in this case.
The defendant filed a plea in bar, reciting a prior conviction herein on the 25th day of November, 1909, and an appeal from the judgment on such conviction; and while the plea in bar is not preserved in the bill of exceptions, it is alleged by the defendant and admitted by the Attorney-General that this is the same case in which a judgment and conviction in the trial court, rendered on the 25th day of November, 1900', was affirmed by this court at its present term.
The judgment of the circuit court of Reynolds county, entered on the 31st day of May, 1910, adjudging the defendant guilty, and assessing his punishment at a fine of five hundred dollars, and three months’ imprisonment in the county jail, is therefore reversed.
