JURISDICTION, PROCEDURE AND SENTENCE.
Jurisdiction.

An. Code, 1924, sec. 541. 1912, sec. 484. 1904, sec. 430. 1888, sec. 278. 1809, ch. 138, sec. 17.

628. If any person be feloniously stricken or poisoned in one county,
and die of the same stroke or poison in another county within one year
thereafter, the offender shall be tried in the court within whose jurisdic-
tion such county lies where the stroke or poison was given; and in like
manner an accessory to murder or felony committed shall be tried by the
court within whose jurisdiction such person became accessory.

This section is merely declaratory of common law; the same reason and principle
equally apply where the mortal blow or poison is given in any county in this state
and the party so stricken or poisoned dies out of the state within the year and a day
in consequence of the blow or poison. In such case the law of Maryland is violated.
