““When, as in this case, it is alleged that the crime charged was committed ‘on or about’ a certain date, if the jury finds that the crime was committed, it is not necessary that the proof show that it was committed on that precise date; It is sufficient if the proof shows that the crime was committed on or about that date.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Stewart v. State · Murdock v. State“"* * * Ordinarily a charge that the crime was committed at or about the time alleged in the information or within a given period before the filing of the indictment or information is sufficient. * * *" See also State v. Slane, 48 Wyo. 1 , 41 P.2d 269 (1935).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Stewart v. State · Murdock v. State“"`* * * The State has elected to prosecute this defendant for an act committed on or about the 28th day of June, 1944, in the Hockett Apartment in the town of Pinedale, Wyoming. The defendant has introduced evidence that neither he nor the prosecutrix was in the Hockett Apartment on or about the 28th day of June, 1944. If after considering all of the evidence you have a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the rape on or about the 28th day of June, 1944, then, even if you believe that the defendant committed the act at some other time or place, you must acquit the defendant, and return a verdict of not guilty.'" 189 P.2d at 166 .”
