However, no such procedure has as

carried higher and an attempt made
q have the prisoner freed long be-
fore the criminal term OF court sits
next January.
The defense can claim that mas
much as the jury in the circuit court
IN Macomb found the man not guilty.
Il carries with It . verdict In all
cases. because the evidence is the
same. with nothing new to offer.
The state, In answer to such a
claim. would charge that II a person

persons. did 1t all with one stroke,

For instance. II . person dynamited q

case would settle all. and the higher
court could then Quash all other In

He said that the defense will prefer
