Opinion:
ARMSTRONG, J.
The plaintiff in error, Harry Parker, was convicted in the district court of Marshall county on a charge of burglary, and his punishment fixed at imprisonment in the state penitentiary for two years.
The charging part of the information upon which the conviction is based is as follows:
"That the said defendant did, unlawfully, wrongfully, fraudulently, burglariously and feloniously break into and enter by breaking the seal upon and opening a certain freight car, the same being the property of the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad and in which there was stored and kept certain- persbnal property, with the unlawful, burglarious and felonious intent then and there on the part of him, the said Harry Parker, to commit larceny therein, contrary to the form of the statute in such case made and provided, etc."
The sufficiency of this information was raised by informal demurrer and by proper motion in arrest of judgment.
The objections to this information are discussed at length in the opinion of this court in the case of Sullivan v. State, 7 Okla. Cr. 307, 123 Pac. 569. We deem it unnecessary to consider them again. County attorneys will experience no difficulty in following the doctrine in the Sullivan Case.
The judgment- is reversed, and the cause remanded, with directions to sustain the demurrer, with leave to the county attorney to file a proper information.
