defendant, and being satisfied that
he thoroly understood the effect of
plea of guilty to the indictment, per-
mitted him to withdraw the plea and
plead anew, altho defendants at
torney stated in open court that the
defendant was taking the course of
his own volition after full knowledge
of the consequences of his act, and
without advice or suggestion from
him in relation to the matter. After
the former plea was withdrawn and
vacated the defendant then in open
