There is no evidence in the record that the party killed was named \u201c Robert Kain.\u201d He is called by the witnesses \u201c Kain \u201d only, without giving any Christian name. The case is undistinguishable in principle from Davis v. The People, 19 Ill. 74, where it was held that such variance between the averment in the indictment and the evidence is fatal.\nIn Shepherd v. The People, 72 Ill. 480, cited by the Attorney General, there was evidence describing the deceased by his vocation\u2014that of barber\u2014which unmistakably identified his name with that averred in the indictment. There is no such proof here.\nThe judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.\nJudgment reversed.",
