People v. Burke
Opinion of the Court
The indictment is sufficient. The offense is charged in the words of the statute defining the crime of which the defendant was accused. (People v. Martin, 32 Cal. 91; People v. English, 30 Cal. 216; People v. Garcia, 25 Cal. 531.)
The affidavit of the defendant does not show sufficient diligence on his part to entitle him to a continuance. (People v. Williams, 24 Cal. 31.)
Judgment affirmed.
