Boslaugh, J.,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent from that part of the majority opinion which holds'' 'that in alleging a conspiracy to *542commit a felony it is necessary to allege in detail the felony which is the object of the conspiracy. I believe that the better rule is that it is sufficient to designate the crime which is the object of the conspiracy by its common law name. See, Glasser v. United States, 315 U. S. 60, 62 S. Ct. 457, 86 L. Ed. 680; Williamson v. United States, 207 U. S. 425, 28 S. Ct. 163, 52 L. Ed. 278; State v. Madden, 170 Iowa 230, 148 N. W. 995; 16 Am. Jur. 2d, Conspiracy, § 23, p. 139; 15 C. J. S., Conspiracy, § 85, p. 1117; 12 C. J., Conspiracy, § 195, p. 618.
