307 Description of persons
The description or designation in an indictment of the accused
person or of any other person to whom reference is made shall be
such as is reasonably sufficient to identify him without necessarily
stating his correct name or his address or occupation and if, owing
to the name of the person being unknown or for any other reason, it
is impossible or impracticable to give such a description or
designation, such description or designation shall be given as is
reasonably practicable in the circumstances or he may be
described as "a person unknown".
