State v. Jones
State v. Jones
Opinion of the Court
The question to be determined is whether the indictment should have charged that the offense that the defendant intended to commit was a felony; in other words whether it should have charged that the defendant broke and entered the house with intent to steal, take and carry away goods, &c;, of greater value than twenty dollars. We are of opinion that the indictment is sufficient as it' is, and need not allege more than that the defendant intended to commit a larceny.
The District Court, therefore, did not err in refusing to sustain the motion in arrest of judgment.
Judgment affirmed.
