United States v. Crittenden

Opinion of the Court

OPINION OP

THE COURT.

The defendant moved the court to quash the indictment, because the time therein stated was in the alternative “on or about,” and because the indictment does not conclude “against the peace and dignity of the United States;” and the parties being heard, and full consideration thereof had, it is the opinion of the court that for either of the objections the indictment should be quashed.

Indictment quashed, and defendant discharged.
