Bulfer v. People

The plaintiffs in error in this cause were, in the Criminal Court of Cook county, indicted for and convicted of conspiracy. The punishment of Bulfer, Touhy and Burnett was fixed by the jury at confinement in the penitentiary, and that of Daubach at a fine of $250, and they were so accordingly sentenced June 17, 1907. The writ of error sued out from this court to reverse these judgments was made a supersedeas by the court.

We think that the indictment should have been quashed on the motion made by each of the defendants, and that no conviction can be sustained thereon.

The question was saved…
