State v. Wye

The first assignment of error contends that the court erred when it overruled the defendant’s demurrer to the indictment; particularly the demurrer charged:

“(c) The indictment is not direct or certain as regards, nor does it charge, the particular circumstances of the alleged crime.

“(d) The indictment does not state the act or omission charged as the crime with such a degree of certainty as to enable the court to pronounce judgment, upon a conviction, according to the right of the case.

“ (e) The indictment does not inform the defendant as to the nature and cause of the accusation against him.”
