628.24 INDICTMENT FOR PERJURY.
In an indictment for perjury or subornation of perjury, it shall be sufficient to set forth
the substance of the controversy or matter in respect to which the offense was committed, and
what court or before whom the oath alleged to be false was taken, and that the court or person
before whom it was taken had authority to administer it, with proper allegations of the falsity of
the matter on which the perjury is assigned; but the indictment need not set forth the pleadings,
record, or proceedings with which the oath is connected, nor the commission or authority of the
court or person before whom the perjury was committed.
