Commonwealth v. Barry Gee.
    [Abstract Kentucky Law Reporter, Yol. 1 — 281.]
    Criminal Law — Concealed Weapons.
    Where in an indictment it is charged that one is guilty of “carrying concealed a deadly -,” the omission of the word “weapon” will not render the indictment bad. The context unmistakably indicates the word omitted, and enables the court to supply it with certainty.
    APPEAL FROM MONROE CRIMINAL COURT.
    
      P. W. Piar din, for appellant.
    
    September 8, 1880.
   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.
