““ * * * Thus, we specifically disapprove State v. Williams, supra, to the extent it holds that ‘absconds’ requires proof that the probationer left the jurisdiction. * * * Courts of law are not warranted in giving such a construction to the acts of a legislature, as must necessarily work injustice and be fraught with injurious consequences, unless the intent of the legislature that they shall be so understood, is manifest and clear beyond any rational doubt. * * *” ’ Lessee of Allen v. Parish (1827), 3 Ohio 187, 198 , quoted in part by Judge Krupansky in State v. Williams, supra, at 189, 540 N.E.2d at 304-305 .””
