68 Ga. 832
Opinion
i . If after the commission of a crime the offender escapes and conceals himself so that he cannot be arrested, the statute of limitations will be suspended during the time for which such concealment continues. Code, §4665; 54 Ga., 55; 4 Ib., 335.
(a.) Nor does it matter that the offender is arrested, and then escapes and conceals himself before indictment, and avoids a re-arrest; such concealment will suspend the statute of limitations. An indictment which alleged these facts was sufficient.
