Description
The information, in four counts,
charged that the defendant had violated 8567 of
[146 Conn. 80]
the General Statutes1 in that on four different
days he "did have in his possession with intent to
sell, offer and show certain booklets containing
obscene and indecent language and also obscene and
indecent pictures, against the peace and contrary
to the form of the statute." The defendant
demurred, alleging that the statute violated
constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech
and of the press as those may be included among
the liberties protected from state action by the
fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution.
The trial court overruled the demurrer, and the
defendant entered a plea of not guilty and elected
to be tried to the court without a jury. General
Statutes, Cum. Sup. 1955, 3326d. The state
withdrew two of the four counts. After a full
hearing, the trial court found the defendant
guilty. He has appealed from this judgment,
assigning error only in the ruling on the
demurrer.
