for the reason, as he stated. that he de-
sired to try him on the other count Of the

Mr. Days attorneys insisted that their
client had a right to go free. is the
district attorney had selected which count
ne would go to trial on, and having been
cleared by the jury, Mr.. Day was entitled
20 a discharge.
In the same connection, it is said. the
