ANNOTATIONAnnotator's note. A case relevant to § 14-6-108 decided prior to its earliest source, L. 11, p. 531 , § 9, has been included in the annotations to this section.
In a prosecution for the failure of a husband to support his wife, it is not necessary to allege in the information that the defendant is a resident of the state. Poole v. People, 24 Colo. 510 , 52 P. 1025 (1898).
Nonresidents are excepted from the operation of this section, but it is not necessary to negate the exceptions because if the defendant was a nonresident, that was a matter of defense. Poole v. People, 24 Colo. 510 , 52 P. 1025 (1898).
