    "head_matter": "The People of the State of Illinois ex rel. Catherine Murphy, Appellee, v. Edward Frowley, Appellant.\nGen. No. 18,830.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Evidence, \u00a7 450 \u2014when comparison of signatures erroneous. The genuineness of a signature cannot be proved by comparison with other admittedly genuine handwriting or signatures not admissible in evidence for other purposes, and not already a part of the record.\n2. Bastards, \u00a7 20 \u2014burden of proof. In a bastardy proceeding the burden is upon complainant to prove her claim by a preponderance of the evidence.\n3. Bastards, \u00a7 22 \u2014when evidence insufficient. In a bastardy proceeding, where complainant testified to two acts of intercourse, one by force and the other with her consent, while defendant denied ever having knowingly seen her until several months after complainant became pregnant, and testified that owing to an injury he had been incapable of having intercourse for a period of twenty years, offering to submit to an examination by a physician appointed by the court, it was held that judgment of guilty was against the greater weight of evidence.\nAppeal from the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. John D. Turnbaugh, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in this court at the October term, 1912.\nReversed and remanded.\nOpinion filed March 9, 1914\nStatement of the Case.\nBastardy proceeding by The People of the State of Illinois ex rel. Catherine Murphy against Edward Frowley, in the Municipal Court of Chicago. From a judgment of guilty on trial by the court without a jury, defendant appeals.\nJoseph E. Byan, for appellant.\nMaclay Hoyne, for appellee; Zach Hofheimer, of counsel.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, same topic and section number."
