Jordan, Judge,
concurring specially. As stated above, this particular Code section has presented difficulty of interpretation in prior litigation due to the fact that clear legislative intent is not shown. There can be no doubt but that at least one purpose *124of this part of Code § 27-601 was to extend the period of limitation for an additional period of 6 months, where the indictment is found within the time limited and a nolle prosequi has been entered. While it is probable that this was the only purpose intended to be served by this language in Code § 27-601, I must agree with the logical reasoning and conclusion stated by Judge Townsend.
