Supreme Court of Iowa December 18, 1901 (State v. Walthall)

Lade, J.

The appellant insists that the punishment imposed was excessive. The circumstances'of the different offenses are not disclosed by the record, and, without knowledge of these, it is impossible for us to say that the penalty inflicted was too severe. Nor is unjust discrimination between the accused shown. Why the indictments were dismissed as againt Mendenhall, does not appear.
