State v. Landry

109 So. 772, 161 La. 948, 1926 La. LEXIS 2155

Opinion

ROGERS, J.

The appellant was convicted on a charge of selling intoxicating liquor for beverage purposes. He prosecutes this appeal relying upon a single bill of exception, reserved to the action of the trial judge in overruling his motion in arrest of judgment. In this motion it is alleged the indictment is invalid because it fails to specify the kind of liquor sold.

Appellant’s contention is untenable. The indictment charges the offense in the words of the statute. This satisfies all legal requirements. If the. indictment is lacking in particularity as ayerre.d in' appellant’s motion,his .remedy, .w.as.tp.call for a bill of par ticulars. State v. Coco, 152 La. 242, 92 So. 883.

The conviction and sentence appealed from are affirmed.
