Error to the district court for Lancaster county. Tried below before Pound, J., where the prisoner was convicted .of murder in the second degree and sentenced to the penitentiary for life.

1Opinion of the Court

Lake, Ch. J.

Taking up the errors alleged in the order of their presentation by the prisoner’s counsel, the first to be considered is the one assigned upon the plea in abatement.

The record contains the plea, the reply of the district attorney thereto, and a demurrer to the reply. Also a motion, filed subsequently to the demurrer, to require the reply to be made more definite. The demurrer and motion were overruled; whereupon the prisoner asked leave to sign his plea in abatement, which was overruled. It had already been signed by his attorneys. Exceptions were taken to these several decisions.
