Bastabds, \u00a7 22 \u2014what degree of proof required to establish charge. It is incumbent on the prosecution to establish the charge of bastardy by the weight of evidence.\n2. Bastabds, \u00a7 22*\u2014when verdict against weight of evidence. In bastardy proceedings where the only testimony on behalf of the plaintiff was the bare assertions of the prosecuting witness that defendant had intercourse with her and was the father of the child, which was flatly denied by the defendant, and there was the testimony of other unimpeached witnesses on behalf of defendant, strongly militating against the charge of paternity, held that a verdict finding defendent to be the father of the child was against the weight of evidence.\n3. Bastabds, \u00a7 62*\u2014when verdict set aside. A verdict in bastardy proceedings which is against the weight of evidence should be set aside.\nAppeal from the County Court of Knox county; the Hon. R. C. Rice, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the April term, 1916.\nReversed and remanded.\nOpinion filed August 10, 1916.\nStatement of the Case.\nBastardy proceedings by the People of the States of Illinois, on the relation of Iceleen Wilson, plaintiff, against Fred Cutler, defendant.
