9 N.W.2d 68 (1943)
CASE SYNOPSIS
Defendants appealed from a judgment of
the Circuit Court for Fond du Lac County (Wisconsin), which convicted
defendants of burglary of a dwelling in the nighttime and sentenced
them for an indeterminate term of three to eight years in the state
prison.CASE FACTS
The victim's home was burglarized sometime between 8:30 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. Clothing was taken and some rooms of the residence were ransacked. Defendants were stopped by officers and a search of their vehicle revealed the stolen items. On appeal from their burglary conviction, defendants contended that the evidence did not establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the dwelling was burglarized in the nighttime as defined by Wis. Stat. § 353.32.
DISCUSSION
- The court rejected this argument noting that the items were taken after the victim retired for the evening and before defendant's were stopped at 1:30 a.m.
- Further, the court found that the search of the vehicle was legal as incident to a legal arrest of defendants for vagrancy under Wis. Stat. § 348.351.
- The verdict was found to be amply supported by the evidence.
CONCLUSION
The court affirmed the judgments of conviction and sentences.
