Bookman v. State

MORROW, Presiding Judge.

— The offense is murder; punishment fixed at death.. The questions of law involved related to the motion to quash the first count in the indictment and the absence of proof of want of knowledge on the part of the grand jurors of the means used by the appellant in causing the death of the deceased.

The first count in the indictment contains an averment that the appellant killed Mary Bookman in some manner and by some means, instruments or weapons to the grand jurors unknown. The averment on its face is sufficient. Sanchez v. State, 46 Tex. Crim. Rep. 179; Hughes v.…
