Opinion

Willson, J.

Defendant was convicted of the offense of imputing a want of chastity to a female. Exceptions to the information, because the words constituting the alleged slander were not set forth therein, were overruled. This was error. In charging this offense, the words alleged to be slanderous must be set forth substantially. (Lagrone v. The State, 12 Texas Ct. App., 426; Melton v. The State, 12 Texas Ct. App., 552.)

Reversed and dismissed.
