State v. Lee

Opinion of the Court

Smith, C. J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

It is clear the indictment charges each of the defendants-with having cut Tates, “with the felonious intent then and there him, the said Jim Tates, to unlawfully, willfully, feloniously, and of his malice aforethought kill and murder,” and, although the language used is ungrammatical, the indictment nevertheless is valid.

Reversed and remanded.
