    "head_matter": "The People of the State of Illinois ex rel. Wayne H. Dyer, State\u2019s Attorney, Appellee, v. Gertie Clark, Appellant.\nGen. No. 5,961.\n(Not to he reported in full.)\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Kankakee county; the Hon. Chables B. Campbell, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the April term, 1914.\nCertiorari allowed by Supreme Court.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed July 31, 1914.\nStatement of the Case.\nPetition filed by the People ex rel. Wayne H. Dyer, State\u2019s Attorney of Kankakee County, for an attachment against Gertie Clark and Nellie Clark for contempt of court in keeping a house of ill fame upon certain premises in violation of an injunction. The petition was dismissed as to Nellie Clark, and Gertie Clark was ruled to file a verified answer to the petition or information mstomter, and she made default. The court adjudged her guilty of wilful contempt of court, and sentenced her to imprisonment in the county jail for forty-five days and fined her two hundred dollars and costs. From the sentence, defendant Gertie Clark appeals.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Appeai and ebbob, \u00a7 852 \u2014certificate of evidence construed. A certificate of. evidence reciting that counsel for the respective parties made a stipulation as to a certain mutter and this was all the evidence offered on the hearing, construed to mean that the certificate was all the evidence heard except that recited in the order of court.\n2. Injunction, \u00a7 259*\u2014conclusiveness of contempt order entered on default. Where a person attached for contempt for violation of an injunction was defaulted and the averments of the petition confessed on failure to comply with a rule to file a verified answer, he cannot question the sufficiency of the evidence to support the order convicting for contempt.\n3. Equity, \u00a7 461*\u2014conclusiveness of default decree. One against whom a decree hy default is entered cannot question the sufficiency of the evidence to support it.\nThe case is in all respects, except one, similar in principle to People v. Clark, p. 613, ante. It relates to a house of ill fame kept in another location.\nT. W. Shields, for appellant.\nWayne H. Dyer and John H. Beckers, for appellee.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
