Description
As we view the record, a careful examination of it requires a reversal because of the asking of prejudicial questions by the prosecution. Complainant had invited defendant to his house to confer about defendants conduct toward complainants wife. He admitted that during the course of this conference he used language toward defendant calculated to provoke the breach of the peace which, he says, resulted in his broken nose. The two men were about the same size, and each considered himself skillful with his fists. Complainant proved to be the better at dirty fighting. Whether or not the county attorneys zeal may have clouded his judgment, he fortified himself with a divorce complaint which alleged assaults by defendant upon his wife, expecting, no doubt, that circumstances might develop in the course of the trial which might make the complaint admissible.
