APPEAL PROM McCRACKEN CIRCUIT COURT.
1Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
Judge Hines’:
The demurrer to the indictment was properly sustained. The allegation that appellee.“did unlawfully forge an instrument,” and the further allegation that “this writing was so forged and falsely made,” are but statements of conclusions of law, and not statements of facts constituting the offense as required by the code. Stowers v. Commonwealth, 12 Bush 342; Commonwealth v. Williams, 13 Bush 267.
Judgment affirmed.
