Sager v. State

*570 SOMERVILLE, J. The defendant was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death. [1] lie appeals on the record proper, without a bill of exceptions, and we are unable to review the action of the trial court in overruling defendant’s motion to quash the indictment because found by an illegal grand jury, or to quash the venire because a true copy of the indictment was not served on him therewith. Garrett v. State, 97 Ala. 18, 14 South. 327; Rudolph v. State, 172 Ala. 379, 55 South. 610. For the same reason we cannot review the action of the trial court in overruling defendant’s objections to being put upon trial because' of the defect and omission above mentioned. [2] The demurrer to the indictment because of the alleged illegality of the grand jury was, of course, properly overruled, no defect appearing on the face of the indictment. Finding no error in the record, the judgment of vthe trial cour); must be affirmed. Affirmed. All the Justices concur, except MAYFIELD, J., not sitting.
