This offence is not punishable by imprisonment in the State’s prison more than twenty years. V. S. 4908 as amended by Acts of 1898, No. 118. Hence the State’s Attorney can prosecute. V.

The action of the trial court in overruling the respond- ' ent’s demurrer and adjudging the information sufficient is sustained and the
