How later courts describe this case
- language of indictment that "killings were especially heinous, atrocious or cruel" constituted mere surplusage
- by entering a plea at arraignment, a defendant waives any irregularities in the indictment unless the indictment is so defective that it leaves the accused unaware of the nature and cause of the charge against him
