The verdict on the second trial (31 Fla., 164, 12 South. Rep., 452), found the defendant guilty as charged in the indictment, with a recommendation of mercy to the court, and the judgment entered thereon was reversed, and the case remanded for a new trial because the verdict failed to ascertain the degree of the crime of which the defendant was convicted. Hall vs. State, 31 Fla., 176, 12 South. Rep., 449.…
