63 Mo. App. 455

State v. Bell

Missouri Court of Appeals

Decided November 18, 1895

Missouri Court of Appeals · decided 1895-11-18

— Hon. Paris C. Stepp, Judge. The information charges that the defendant disturbed the peace of an individual by indecent and offensive conversation, and is in the identical same words, as used in State v. Gallego, 57 Mo. App. 515, which was held to state no offense.

Relies on State v. Gallego

Reversed · Decided 1895-11-18

Smith, P. J.

¶1The information in this case is based on section 3784, Revised Statutes, 1889. The language *456employed in attempting to charge the statutory offense is precisely like that in State v. Gallego, 57 Mo. App. 515, which was there held insufficient.

¶2Following our ruling in that case, we must hold that the present information is fatally defective and will not support the judgment of the trial court, which must accordingly he reversed.

All concur.
