Appellee was charged in the conrt below with murder in the first degree. A trial resulted in a verdict of murder in the second degree. Appellee filed a motion for a new trial, and his motion was sustained. The court then, over the objection and exception of the State, permitted appellee to enter a plea of guilty to the involved offense of manslaughter, and rendered judgment on the plea.
The State appeals under §§1915, 1955 Burns 1901, §§1846, 1882 E. S. 1881. Appellee, however, has interposed a motion to dismiss the appeal, and this motion presents the threshold question in the case.
