¶1— I concur in the result reached. I do not think the description of the property stolen sufficiently explicit. Yet, as it does not appear from the record that the defendant was prejudiced thereby the verdict and judgment thereon should not be disturbed.

State v. Rathbone
Decided December 16, 1901
Idaho Supreme Court · decided 1901-12-16
An indictment should be direct and certain as to the offense •charged and the particular circumstances when they are neces.sary to constitute a complete defense. (People v. Saviers, 14 Cal. 29.) The indictment should set forth the facts and circumstances of the alleged offense, so that the accused may be prepared for his defense. (People v. Hood, 6 Cal. 236; People -v. Wallace, 9 Cal. 30.) Defendant’s motion for bill of particulars should have been allowed.
