In return for his turning state’s evidence, Armstrong was promised and in fact tried only as an accessory before and after the fact. The trials, over objection by Cox, were consolidated. Evidence was adduced which indicated on the one hand that Armstrong killed Eades; on the other hand Armstrong and his son testified that Cox killed Eades. Armstrong was convicted of accessory before and after the fact; Cox of murder. Cox appeals; we reverse.
