Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
PER CURIAM.
In his motion for rehearing, defendant reasserts Bill of Exceptions No. 105, not specifically disposed of in our original opinion.
We have examined the bill and find it to be without merit. Despite the order of severance, the grand jury indictment is valid. Hence, since trial was had on a valid indictment, the motion in arrest of judgment was properly overruled.
The motion for rehearing is denied.
