Missouri Court of Appeals February 8, 1886 (State v. Derry)

Philips, P. J.

I. Objection is made to the indict*555ment on the ground that it does not allege that the words-were spoken in the hearing of any one. It is true that-in the first part of the indictment, where such averment is usually made, it is only charged that the speaking was-in the presence of J. W. Derry, etc.
