GIVES ADVICE TO DISTRICT AT
TORNEY Because a Semicolon Appeared In Copy
of Indictment Where Comma Should
Have Been, Two Crimes Are
Charged in Indictment, and Judge
Kuykendall Is Compelled to Sustain
Demurrer.
A semicolon in the indictment
against M. C. Gerrue, charged with
rape or his daughter, today caused Cir
cuit Judge D. V. Kuykendall to sustain
the demurrer of W. H. A. Renaer. at
torney for Gerrue, to" the indictment.
Gerrue. however, was not liberated,
but Judge Kuykendall directed the
faulty indictment to be returned to the
grand jury for correction.
The semicolon appeared where a,
comma should have been. The comma
made the Indictment charge but one
crime. The semicolon made it charge
two crimes, asault and rape. Tbe orig
inal copy of the indictment was correct
but the duplicate served on the defend
ant contained a semicolon where there
wax only a comma in the original.
The statute in such case Is clear.
It provide that only one crime can e
charged against a defendant in one in
dictment. In the back of tbe code is
a form of a correct indictment.
After Judge Kuykendall had sus
tained the demurrer of Attorney Ren
ner. he took occasion to remark that
district attorney can find in the back
or the code a form or indictment, and
that if it Is followed exactly the In
dictment will stand.
