Supreme Court of Louisiana
APPEAL from the Fourteenth Judicial Court for the Parish of Iberville. Talbot, J.
1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
Nicholls, C. J.
On January 13, 1897, the grand jury of the parish of Iberville indicted the defendant for murder. On this indictment he was tried by a petit jury on January 25, and on the following day was found guilty of manslaughter. He immediately applied for a new trial on the ground (first) that the verdict was contrary to law and the evidence; and (second) because one of the jurors in the case was not a citizen of the parish. After evidence adduced the motion was sustained, but without assignment of the grounds upon which the ruling was made.
