SIMS, Chief Justice.
Appellant, Luther Caudill, was convicted of child desertion and his punishment fixed at confinement in the penitentiary for one year. He assigns two grounds for reversal: (a) the indictment did not charge a public offense; (b) if a public offense was charged, the instructions were erroneous because they did not follow the language of the indictment. As we think the first ground is well-taken, we do not reach the second.
