Chastain, after hearing the testimony for the defense announced that the State had failed to establish be-_ yond a reasonable doubt, the guilt of the defendant. Mr. Chastain said ‘‘T wantn to see justice done to all parties. If defend- ants: counsel wish to argue this case they may do so, but as for me, [ will not ask the jury to bring in na verdict of guilty.’’ After a brief conference by Mr. Taylor’s attorneys the defense asked for a verdict of ** Not Guil- ty’’, which the jury rendered without leaving the box.
