     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.
