Judge Woods Sets Aside the Verdict and
oushes the Indictments
j. R. Holcombe, who was convic ted
on one of the charges OF cattle stealing
last week, was discharged from custody
by Judge Woods yesterday morning
after hearing the argument OF counsel
on demurrer to the Indictment. The
indictment was held to be bad for want
OF certainty. It charged Holcombe
with stealing cattle, this was hold to be
too uncertain because under it tho
prisoner could have been proven guilty
Of stealing any kind of domestic cattle
such as sheep, pigs. horses, etc all of
these being included under the general
term OF cattle in legal and biblical
sense.
Again. if the prisoner was guilty of
stealing neat cattle the Judge said:
"According to the evidence the prisoner
il proven guilty OF stealing neat cattle,
even taking the indictment to mean
this special kind Of cattle, the offense
was committed three miles from the
city limits, and was therefore GU. of the
jurisdiction Of his court, and the evil
dence as to the acts Of the prisoner
within the jursdic lion of the court
would only sustain conviction for re-
ceiving stolen goods, or the cattle after
they were killed and dressed. This not
being charged in the indictment it must
fail and the prisoner be discharged"
