Syllabus

<p>Criminal Law—Furnishing Liquor to Indian — Demurrer to Information—Duplicity.—An information under section 397 of the Penal Code, charging that the defendant did, on a specified date, “furnish and cause to he furnished intoxicating liquor” to an Indian named, is not demurrable on the ground that it charges two offenses.</p> <p>Id.—Pleading — Single Count—Series of Acts Constituting Single Offense.—When a statute enunciates a series of acts, either of which separately or all together may constitute the offense, all of such acts may be charged in a single count, for the reason that notwithstanding each act may by itself constitute the offense, all of them together do no more, and likewise constitute but one and the same offense.</p>
