Commonwealth v. Gee

Commonwealth v. Gee
Court of Appeals of Kentucky · Decided September 8, 1880 · Coeer
10 Ky. Op. 682; 1 Ky. L. Rptr. 281; 1880 Ky. LEXIS 313

Commonwealth v. Gee

Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

Judge Coeer :

The omission of the word “weapon” did not render the indictment bad. It is alleged that the offense charged was committed by carrying concealed upon and about his person a deadly weapon. This was sufficient for all purposes. Besides this, the word “weapon” should be supplied. The words, “the offense of carrying concealed a deadly-,” unmistakably indicate the omitted word, and enable the court to supply it with absolute certainty.

Wherefore the judgment is reversed and the cause remanded with directions to overrule the demurrer.
