Etta E. WILSON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 76-10.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    June 10, 1977.
    Rehearing Denied Aug. 4, 1977.
    Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and George B. Barrs, Laurie Sistrunk, Asst. Public Defenders, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Marsha G. Madorsky, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Upon consideration of the record, briefs and argument of counsel for the respective parties, we determine the trial court erred in not declaring a mistrial and appointing separate counsel for indigent co-defendants when it became apparent their interests and defenses were conflicting. Baker v. State, 202 So.2d 563 (Fla.1967).

Reversed and remanded for a new trial.

CROSS, ANSTEAD and DAUKSCH, JJ., concur.
