¶1— The appellant was tried and convicted of the crime of kidnapping.
¶2The prosecution was instituted by affidavit and information.
¶3The errors assigned present the following questions : Error of the court (1) in overruling motion to quash the affidavit and information, (2) in overruling motion for a new trial, and (3) in overruling motion in arrest of judgment. The argument is confined to the following questions :
¶4a. The court erred in overruling the motion to quash.
¶5b. The court erred in giving instructions numbered two and three.
¶6c. The verdict of the jury is not sustained by sufficient evidence.
¶7The affidavit is composed of two counts. The first charges *206a forcible carrying away of one Nora Pruett from her place of residence, and, the second, a fraudulent decoying of the said female from her place of residence.
¶8It is objected to each count in the affidavit that there is an absence of an allegation of a “ felonious intention ” in the commission of the acts alleged.
¶9The section of the statute upon which the prosecution rests is 1915, E. S. 1881, and, so far as we need quote from it, it reads as follows: “ Whoever kidnaps, or forcibly or fraudulently carries off or decoys from his place of residence, or arrests or imprisons any person, with the intention of having such person carried away from his place of residence,” etc., “ is guilty of kidnapping.”
¶10As we construe this statute, it is composed of two branches or subdivisions. To constitute a crime under the first subdivision there must be a carrying, or decoying, of the person against whom the wrong is committed, away from his place of residence, forcibly or fraudulently.
¶11Under the second subdivision, to constitute the crime, it is not necessary that the person against whom the wrong is committed be compelled, or induced, to leave his place of residence. State v. Sutton, 116 Ind. 527; State v. Kimmerling, 124 Ind. 382.
¶12The definition given to the crime, in the first subdivision, necessarily involves an intentional carrying, or decoying, away from the-place of residence, and hence the Legislature could have had no purpose in including, as a part of the definition of the crime under that subdivision, the words “ with the intention of having such person carried away from his place of residence,” It would be mere tautology.
¶13But under the second subdivision the crime intended to be embraced in the said statute would be incompletely defined without the employment of the said words.
¶14This conclusion is supported by the authorities cited above, and disposes of the objection raised by the motion to quash.
¶15The objections raised to the instructions present the same question.
¶16The evidence supports the verdict.
¶17We find no error in the record.
¶18Judgment affirmed.
