Head Matter:
Conner v. The State.
The record on appeal, in a criminal case, tried on indictment, will not sustain a conviction, unless it show, independently of the recitals in the indictment, that the grand jury were regularly empanneled, and that they filed the indictment.
APPEAL from the Grant Circuit Court.
N. W. Gorden, PI. P). Thompson and W.- Pi. Pierce, for the appellant.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The record does not show that the grand jury, by whom the indictment was found, were regularly empanneled, nor that they hied the indictment. A legal indictment is therefore not shown.
The judgment is reversed. Cause remanded, &c.
