1Opinion of the CourtBeck, J.
The important principle ruled in the third headnote is not elaborated here, but a most elaborate and exhaustive discussion of the doctrine involved in that ruling will be found in 1 Wharton on Criminal Law (11th ed.), § 370 et seq., and the numerous cases cited as authority for the text.
