    3. Criminal law, § 162*—when evidence sufficient to show defendant to be a vagabond. Where on an information under Illinois R. S., ch. 38, sec. 270 (J. & A. jf 3962) the testimony of the six witnesses for the People is to the effect that defendant was a common night walker and prostitute, was dissolute, neglectful of all lawful business and habitually misspent her time frequenting tippling shops, while defendant, who is the only witness for the defense, denies the charges and states that she is engaged in doing housework for her employer, receiving therefor five dollars a week and her room and board and that she also receives ten dollars a week from her husband who lives in California, the evidence is sufficient to support a verdict finding her guilty.
