Haywood v. State

66 Miss. 402

Opinion

Cooper, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The pursuit after the fugitive or abducted girls, undertaken and prosecuted without knowing to what length it would extend, nor the places and localities into which it would lead, was a “journey ” within the meaning of the statute against carrying concealed weapons. The appellant should have been acquitted on the facts.

Judgment reversed and cause remanded.
