Syllabus

<p>JURORS — EXEMPTIONS—CHALLENGES—ARRAIGNMENT — WAIVER.</p> <p>1. Under the express provisions of Act No. 135 of 1898, p. 217, the exemption of jurors is personal, and when not claimed furnishes no sufficient cause for challenging the person exempt under the provisions of the statute.</p> <p>2. In case of a felony punishable necessarily at hard labor, the accused, being present in open court, may waive arraignment and plead not guilty. Such waiver is binding on the accused, and in case of conviction cannot be assigned as error.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
