• 107 La. 189

Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. While “with a dangerous weapon” is part of the definition of Sections 790. 791, 793, Revised Statutes, and Act 44 of 1890, the use of the words, “shooting with intent to kill and murder” necessarily supplies the words “with a dangerous weapon.” Shooting with intent to kill and murder adds to the sentence, by its meaning, the words “with a dangerous weapon,” as one cannot shoot with such an intent as conveyed by the statute without the use of a firearm.</p> <p>2. The word “intention,’’ as used in the indictment, is accepted as a sufficient substitute for the word “intent” of the statute.</p>
