Upon trial a jury acquitted the defendant.\nComplaint is made of rulings on objections to questions, and on the admissibility of testimony, which we shall not discuss, as our opinion on these points would not alter our conclusion that no other verdict than that returned should stand. This conclusion follows an inspection of the picture, which is an exhibit before us. It is not indecent, although this may not be said of much of the exploiting of it. It does not come within the interdiction of the ordinance, and the judgment is affirmed.\nAffirmed.",
