Syllabus

<p>Former Conviction—Plea op.—If a defendant in a criminal case when arraigned pleads guilty, and his plea is entered of record by the Court, he is convicted of the crime without a trial, and this conviction is a good defense upon a plea of a former conviction if he is again indicted for the same offense, although no judgment was pronounced by the Court upon the plea of guilty.</p>
