<p>Ceiminal Law. Joint indictment. Misdemeanor. Diff event verdicts. Code 1892, <¡4378.</p> <p>Where two persons are jointly indicted for a misdemeanor, if the testimony is exactly the same against hoth, and is delivered by the same witness, the verdict must be the same as to each of the accused, althoug-h the crime may not be joint in its nature. If one be convicted, and there be a mistrial as to the other, the conviction is erroneous. Such a case is not within the provisions of code 1893, g 4378. Terral, J., dissenting.</p>
