Peeler v. State

Opinion of the Court

Ector, P. J.

In this case we find nothing in the record showing that the defendant pleaded to the indictment, or, upon his refusal to do so, that the plea of not guilty was entered for him. By repeated decisions of this court such failure has been held fatal to the judgment.

The judgment of the district court is, therefore, reversed and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded. ■
