Description
Plaintiff in error was convicted of incest and statutory rape, involving his minor daughter. The latter, being called as a witness for the people, in response to various questions of the district attorney, answered in substance, upon twenty-three separate occasions, "I am not going to testify against my father." In the briefs of the attorney general it is said: "Her refusal to testify forced the people either to abandon the prosecution or submit the best evidence obtainable, and the district attorney elected to pursue this latter course."
