APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

The Act of May 10, 1934, provides that, when an indictment is found insufficient after the period of the statute of limitations has expired, a new indictment may be returned during the next succeeding term following such finding during which a grand jury shall be in session. Held that this does not authorize reindictment at the same term during which the first indictment was found defective. P. 69.

Affirmed.
