Cover v. Commonwealth, 8 A. 196, 5 Sadler 79, 20 Week. No. 386, 1887 Pa. LEXIS 556 (Pa. 1887).
Opinion
The crime of perjury is sufficiently charged in the indictment. The evidence of which complaint is made was not to prove distinct offenses committed on a former trial for another crime or offense, but of certain acts committed by the defendant below, intended to thwart and prevent a conviction of the particular crime charged in this indictment. It was dearly admissible.
Judgment affirmed.
