Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Jurisdiction — Question of Fact — Judgment Conclusive Evidence. Where the jurisdiction of the court depends upon a fact which the court is required to ascertain and decide its judgment determining that the fact does exist is conclusive evidence of jurisdiction until set aside or reversed by a direct proceeding.</p> <p>2. Habeas Corpus — Erroneous Judgment. No offender under sixteen years of age may be imprisoned in the state industrial reformatory, but where a judgment in the district court recites that the age of the defendant sentenced to that institution was found and decided to be more than sixteen years the adjudication of that fact, although erroneous, is not open to attack in a habeas corpus proceeding.</p>
