(Not to be reported in full.)
Error to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Jacob H. Hopkins, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1914.
Affirmed.
Opinion filed March 23, 1915.
*81Abstract of the Decision.
1. Adultery, § 4 * —when information sufficient. It is not necessary that an information charging adultery charge that the parties were not married to one another.
2. Adultery, § 5*—when evidence sufficient. On an information for adultery, where the evidence shows that each of the parties was married and knew the other was; that defendant was living separate and apart from his wife, and the woman from her husband; that defendant had rented rooms in different parts of Chicago at different times and occupied them with her and that in some of the places she took his name; that in one of the places there was only one bed; that both of them were seen in the room in their night clothes; that the place in which they lived when the information was filed and during the trial was rented in their joint names and was occupied by both of them, it is sufficient to warrant a conviction of adultery, even though they deny illicit relationship and that they occupied the same room.
