Knapp v. State

Opinion of the Court

PRENDERGAST, Judge.

—The appellant was indicted and convicted of bigamy and his ^punishment assessed at five years in the penitentiary.

The indictment is assailed on several grounds. It is unnecessary to state them. The indictment is in strict accordance with the approved forms under our statute, both by Judge White and Mr. Bishop. We had occasion in the case of Bryan v. State, 63 Texas Crim. Rep., 200, 139 S. W. Rep., 981, to pass upon substantially if not exactly the same indictment as in this case and under the authority of that case and cases therein cited, the indictment in this case is held clearly sufficient.

There is no statement of facts or bills of exceptions in the record. *507 None of the questions attempted to he raised by the motion for new trial can, therefore, be considered. The charge- of the court is clearly correct under the indictment.

[Rehearing denied October 16, 1913.—Reporter.]

The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.

Davidson, Presiding Judge, not sitting.
