The Tried Assassin
|
AN Assassin being put upon trial in a New England court, his
Counsel rose and said: 'Your Honour, I move for a discharge on the
ground of 'once in jeopardy': my client has been already tried for
that murder and acquitted.'
'In what court?' asked the Judge.
'In the Superior Court of San Francisco,' the Counsel replied.
'Let the trial proceed - your motion is denied,' said the Judge.
'An Assassin is not in jeopardy when tried in California.'
