  • Release Date: 1966-01-26
  • Genre: Law

Description

The evidence of the state reveals that while the prosecutrix, twenty years of age and seven months pregnant, and her husband were on the way home after visiting in the home of her cousin, their automobile ran out of gasoline and they began walking. When near home about 12:30 A.M., the husband having preceded the prosecutrix across the street at an intersection, she was suddenly grabbed by a man from the sidewalk and shoved into an automobile driven by another man. On hearing her scream and call his name, her husband ran toward her as she was being dragged into a car, which sped away before he could reach her or overtake the car. However, he did get within ten feet of the automobile which he said was a 1962 Tempest with a red body and a white canvas top, bearing license number UE 833. He immediately notified the police and went with them to the place where the prosecutrix was abducted, and there recovered her purse and her glove (one). The husband next saw his wife, the prosecutrix, at the police station.
