MCDANIEL
v.
STATE.

Supreme Court of Alabama

June 30, 1905


Appeal from Morgan County Court; William E. Skeggs, Judge.

"Not officially reported."

Tandy McDaniel was convicted of a crime, and appeals. Dismissed.

Wert & Wert, for appellant.

Massey Wilson, Atty. Gen., for the State.

ANDERSON, J.

The indictment in this case was returned at a time fixed for holding the circuit court of Morgan county by a law heretofore declared unconstitutional, and not at a time fixed by law for the holding of the circuit court for said county, and is therefore void. There being no valid indictment that would support a judgment of conviction, the judgment rendered will not support an appeal. Walker v. State, 39 So. 242.

Appeal dismissed.

McCLELLAN, C.J., and TYSON and SIMPSON, JJ., concur.
