   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Riley and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. District court did not err in dismissing
   indictment on the ground it failed to allege Indian status under 18 U.S.C.
   Sec. 1153 as Indian status is an essential element of the offense; defect
   could not be cured by an application of aider-and-abettor liability.
