1Opinion of the Court
Opinion op the Court by
Chief Justice Clarke
Affirming.
Appellant was convicted of unlawfully detaining, a woman against her will, as denounced and defined hy -section 1158 of the -statutes.
His first insistence for reversal of the judgment is that the -court erred in overruling his demurrer to the indictment. The indictment follows the language of the statute, and we have held in numerous cases that this is all that is necessary in charging one with the commission of this offense. Higgins v. Commonwealth, 94 Ky. 54, 21 S. W. 231; McKey v. Commonwealth, 145 Ky. 450, 140 S. W. 658; Stark v.…
