Abbott v. State ( 1905 )

Wood, J.

The appellant was convicted of an assault with intent to kill, and sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. The indictment charged that appellant made the assault “unlawfully, willfully, feloniously, and with malice aforethought with the felonious intent to kill and murder.” That was sufficient. Dillard v. State, 65 Ark. 404.

The instruction which gave the jury the maximum punishment to be assessed in case of conviction, but which failed to name the minimum punishment, was not prejudicial, since the jury assessed the lowest punishment.

There was no error in the law of the case as given by the court, and the proof was ample to sustain the verdict.

Affirm.
