““It is almost universally held that an indictment of an accessory to a crime does not require that the means and specific facts by which the alleged accessory procured, aided and abetted in the commission thereof be set forth. Coffin v. United States, 156 U.S. 432 .... A defendant is not entitled in an indictment to information as to how the State is to prove its case.””
