Opinion
Appellant was tried and convicted for obstructing a highway. Overruling a motion for a new trial is the only error assigned. The record fails to disclose affirmatively that appellant was arraigned or that a plea to the affidavit and information was entered either by or for appellant. It is held that this question is presented by an assignment as a cause for a new trial that the verdict is contrary to law. Bowen v. State, 108 Ind. 411. As the record [694]*694does' not show an arraignment, or that appellant waived it, nor that a plea was entered by or for appellant, nnder the rule declared by the Supreme Court the judgment must be reversed.
