Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas March 12, 1930, No. 13091. (Moreno v. State)

lead-opinion

HAWKINS, Judge.

Conviction is for aggravated assault, punishment being imprisonment in the county jail for sixty days.

The injured party was appellant’s step-son, a little boy nine years old. Neighbors heard sounds of whipping and the little boy begging; the next morning he was observed to be chained by the foot to a bed post. This caused reports to be made to officers.
