Head Matter:
The State of Missouri, Defendant in Error, v. George W. Bell, Plaintiff in Error.
Kansas City Court of Appeals,
November 18, 1895.
Criminal Law: disturbíng peace: information. The information in this ease is held -insufficient under the ruling in State v. Gallego, 57 Mo. App. 515.
Error to the Harrison Circuit Cowrt. — Hon. Paris C. Stepp, Judge.
Reversed.
Sallee <& Goodman for plaintiff in error.
The information charges that the defendant disturbed the peace of an individual by indecent and offensive conversation, and is in the identical same words, as used in State v. Gallego, 57 Mo. App. 515, which was held to state no offense.

Opinion:
Smith, P. J.
The information in this case is based on section 3784, Revised Statutes, 1889. The language employed in attempting to charge the statutory offense is precisely like that in State v. Gallego, 57 Mo. App. 515, which was there held insufficient.
Following our ruling in that case, we must hold that the present information is fatally defective and will not support the judgment of the trial court, which must accordingly he reversed.
All concur.
