Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Perjury — Disqualification of Trial Judge. The mere fact that a judge of the district court, upon the suggestion of the county attorney, directed the sheriff to hold a witness who had just given testimony in a criminal case until the county attorney could institute a proceeding against him for perjury does not disqualify the judge subsequently to try such witness upon the charge of perjury.</p> <p>2. - Sufficient Information. An express averment in an information that the false testimony upon which perjury is assigned was material to the issue on trial is generally sufficient, without setting out the facts from which such materiality appears.</p> <p>,3. Jury and Jurors — Qualifications. Objections to the qualifications of jurors accepted held insufficient.</p>
