Syllabus

<p>Criminal Law (-175)—Evidence—Sufficiency to Support Conviction. Upon a charge of criminal syndicalism, the evidence that, shortly before the accused’s arrest, he destroyed his membership card in the I. W. W. does not require the jury to find him not guilty.</p> <p>Same (182)—Evidence—Sufficiency—Place of Offense. Upon a charge of criminal syndicalism, the place of the commission of the ofíense is sufficiently shown to have been within the county, where his residence therein was shown, and he was only temporarily at the logging camp outside the county when he was arrested.</p> <p>Same (140)—Evidence—Furtherance of Common Purpose. Literature of the I. W. W. is admissible in a prosecution of a member for criminal syndicalism without otherwise connecting defendant therewith.</p>
