Husband, as Master of
Home, Is Giriltylf Wife
Breaks Law, SaysCourt
i
Lansing.—That a man is responsible
for the conduct of his wife, even to tha
extent of being punishable for crimes
committed by her against his protest,
is the gist of the supreme court’s deci
sion Monday in the case of the people
against John Sybslon, of Benton county.
Svbsloo’s wife, Anna, installed a still
in tbe cellar of their borne, which she
owned. The house was raided and
marked money that a detoetive had
used in purchasing whisky was found
in Mr9. Sybsloo's possession. Tbe still
was found in the cellar, together with
a gallon of new whisky and a barrel of!
mash.
Husband and wife were charged with i
violation of tbe liquor law. The wife
pleaded guiltv. Sybsloo stood trial, ;
and evidence was produced to show
that tbe wife had procured tbe still,
that be had tried to dissuade her from
usiDg it and had no part in the traffic
connected with it.
The trial court instructed the jury
that if it were shown that he bad
known of the traffic in which his wife |
was engaged in their home, and that if
he had failed to use every reasonable
means, as master of tbe house, to pre
vent her from carrying on tbe illegal j
trade, be was jointly guiltv- The fact
that, the wife owned tbe house did not
modify the husband’s mastery of it nor
his duty to prevent his wife from using j
it for criminal business.
The supreme court upholds this in
ter pretationiof 'the law and confirms
the husband's conviction,

malum prohibitum: It does not involve
an act which from its very nature is
criminal, as murder, theft, arson and
the like. In such cases criminal intent
is not a necessary element of the of
fense.
•‘The statute which gives a married
woman a right to carry on a trade or
business of her own account does not
deprive a husband of his common law
right to regulate and control his own
household, and he has the power to
prevent his wife from using the house
for illegal business or purposes.”
The court hoids that the husband
could escape responsibility for his
wife’s crime only by using every rea
sonable means in his power to prevent
her continuance of criminal business,
and that mere complaints, such as those
testified to in this case, do not answer
the purpose.
