Kruse v. People
Appellate Court of Illinois
Indictment for Embezzlement—Trial in the Criminal Court of Cook County; the Hon. Edmund W. Burke, Judge, presiding. Verdict of guilty; error by defendant. Heard in this court at the March term, 1899.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Windes
The motion of defendant in error to strike the bill of exceptions in this case from the record, and which was reserved to the hearing, is sustained. What purports to be the bill of exceptions is neither signed nor sealed by the trial judge, without which it has no validity and is no part of the record. Jones v. Sprague, 2 Scam. 55; Miller v. Jenkins, 44 Ill. 443; W. O. B. Ass’n v. Powers, 30 Ill. App. 82.
The errors assigned numbered 1, and 4 to 7, inclusive, relate wholly to alleged errors of the court, which, it is claimed, appear from the bill of exceptions and are therefore not considered.
