Syllabus

<p>Prostitution — Connivance—Information. An information for conniving at the prostitution of defendant’s wife sufficiently alleges that defendant knew the character of the ho.use and nature of his act, when it states that he did feloniously connive at, consent to, and permit the placing of his wife in a house of prostitution.</p> <p>Criminal Law — Trial—Witness—Misconduct. It is error requiring a reversal to fail to withdraw the testimony of defendant’s wife, or to refuse a new trial, where it appears, after her testimony was given, that while giving her testimony she received secret signals from her attorney employed to defend a prosecution against her, claimed to have been given to prevent her from incriminating herself; as objections or suggestions as to such point should have been made openly and with the consent of the court.</p>
