1342 ARTICLE 33.
nor more than five hundred dollars ($500), or by imprisonment in jail for
not less than thirty days, nor more than ninety days, or by both such fine
and imprisonment, in the discretion of the court.
This section was not repealed nor in any way affected by act of 1912, ch. 2, and
there is nothing in sec. 204 as re-enacted by said act which imposes any additional
penalty or affects the rights of any person under sec. 204 or under this section, of
which traverser can complain. Indictment held to correctly charge offenses set out
in this section. Since an indictment was based upon this section, an instruction is
erroneous which directs jury that sec. 104, which makes wilful neglect of duty the
offense, was applicable. Punishment imposed held to be altogether different from
that prescribed by this section; remand of record for entry of proper judgment.
