The averments that shall be embodied in an indictment are largely determined by the judgment of the prosecutor, and the sufficiency of the indictment is dependent upon his knowledge of the particular crime for which indictment is to be drawn. Forms do not assure a sufficient indictment, but only give a suggestion.

The cases classified below set forth the requirements so far as the Supreme Court has had occasion to express itself. The following forms are given as suggestions to prosecutors who have not access to the form books. The following are well established rules as to indictments:
