People v. Reitzke

Criminal Daw—Pandering—Evidence op Conduct op Parties While in Another State.—In a prosecution of a man for living on the earnings of a prostitute, evidence that she was a prostitute and lived with him in another state before they came to this state is admissible to show that he knew she was a prostitute.

Id.—Defense—Use op'Earnings in Legitimate Business—Instructions.—In the prosecution of a man for living on the earnings of a prostitute, the defense that the money was taken, not for his support, but to establish him in a legitimate business, is sufficiently expressed in an instruction: “If you find from the evidence that the prosecuting witness loaned and advanced to the defendant certain sums of money for the purpose of going into the saloon or other business, or for any other purpose except the purpose of being supported or maintained by the prosecuting witness, it will be your duty to find .a verdict of not guilty.”

Id.—Evidence—Sufficiency to Support Conviction.—The evidence in this case is found sufficient to sustain a conviction for pimping, under the statute (Stats. 1911,,p. .10).
