Moore v. Commonwealth

Opinion of the Court by

Chief Justice Rees—

Affirming.

James McGuire, George Perry Moore, and Oliver Ramsey were jointly indicted in the Madison circuit court for the crime of conspiracy to commit a felony, to wit, uttering a forgery. They were tried together, and each was convicted and sentenced to a term of two years in the state penitentiary. Moore and Ramsey have appealed. They assign as grounds for reversal of the judgment: (1) Insufficiency of the evidence to sustain the verdict; (2) admission of incompetent evidence; (3) the indictment was defective; and (4) erroneous instructions.
