In various ways appellant attacked the law under which the prosecution was had, all based upon the claim that Art 739 P. C. is incomplete in itself and cannot be aided by resort to the civil statutes upon the same subject. The exact point was decided against appellant's contention in Compere v. State,107 Tex. Crim. 95, 295 S.W. 614.
Only the second count in the information was submitted to the jury. It charged that appellant treated Wyatt Baldwin. The proof showed that he treated Wyatt Bradberry. There was a material variance in the proof and the allegation. It is perfectly apparent that it was the pleader's purpose to charge a treatment of Wyatt Bradberry. Whatever his intention may have been, he in fact averred a treatment of one party and proved the treatment of another. This necessarily demands a reversal.
The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
Reversed and remanded.
