Supreme Court of Alabama February 9, 1909 (Pierson v. State)

ANDERSON, J.

While the affidavit, in the case at bar, charges an offense (false pretense) under section 6920 of the Code of 1907, and the plea sets up that the defendant was acquitted of a charge (for violating a labor contract) under section 6845, the averments of the plea show the same parties, and that the essence of each offense was the fraudulent getting of $16 by the defendant from G. W.
