February 24, 187456 N.Y. 95

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower court's order, holding that the indictment was valid despite not charging the crime in Otsego County, that a conviction stands when at least one count is good, that a single count may charge multiple means of the same felony, and that the deceased's statements were inadmissible both as res gestae and as a dying declaration.
