New York Supreme Court January 15, 1887 (People v. Meyers)

lead-opinion

Daniels, J.

The indictment charged the defendant with an offence under Sec. 294 of the Penal Code, and evidence was given tending to prove the truth of this charge. That of the complaining witness was direct and positive, and that the offence was committed at Ms instance. He denied the charge and his evidence as a witness upon the trial directly supported this denial.
