Forcy, Alias Jones v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · Decided June 9, 1909 · Ramsey
120 S.W. 859; 56 Tex. Crim. 435; 1909 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 278 (South Western Reporter)

Forcy, Alias Jones v. State

Opinion of the Court

RAMSEY, Judge.

The indictment in this case is practically identical with that considered in the case of Forcy v. State, 55 Texas Crim. Rep., 545, 117 S. W. Rep., 834, which was held to be fatally defective. It is unnecessary, therefore, to further consider the matter.

Holding that the indictment charges no offense, it is ordered that the judgment of conviction be, and the same is, hereby reversed, and the prosecution ordered dismissed.

Reversed and dismissed.
