Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion

By the Court :

The admission in evidence of a copy of the agreement set forth in the indictment, without accounting for the absence of the original, and without any proof whatever of the execution of the instrument, was clearly erroneous.

Judgment reversed and cause remanded for a new trial.
