Opinion of the Court
The record shows that in this case the court had no jurisdiction, the prosecution and conviction being for a felony, and the defendant not being in custody, etc., at the time the original affidavit and information were filed against him. The information alleges, the defendant was in custody, but the record shows the falsity of the allegation.
The judgment is reversed, and warden of penitentiary will be notified to return Armstrong to the jail of Scott county, for further orders.
