Hightower was indicted for having willfully, unlawfully and knowingly caused the transportation of a named woman through and across the state through a portion of the parish of Lincoln for the purpose of prostitution, and with the intent to induce and compel her to become a prostitute.

Affirmed · Decided 1918-06-29

LECHE, J.

¶1The present appeal is taken by the state from a judgment quashing an information. The brief of the Attorney General acknowledges that the ruling of the trial court accords with his opinion, and he has therefore virtually abandoned the appeal, and for this reason, the judgment appealed from is affirmed.
