1Opinion of the Court
ARCHIBALD, Justice.
The appellants, Rodney Warren and Alton Phinney, were secretly 1 indicted by a Penobscot County Grand Jury for conspiracy (17 M.R.S.A. § 951). Although separately indicted the cases were ordered to be tried together because the appellants could have been jointly indicted. Rule 13, M.R.Crim.P. The initial jury trial was in October, 1971 but a mistrial was ordered and the appellants were subsequently found guilty following a second jury trial in January of 1972. Each has appealed from the ensuing judgments. We sustain the appeals and order a new trial.
