Before the Entire Bench.
Defendant Louis Phillips and one Ardis James were charged with breaking and entering 1 a barber shop on or about March 13, 1967. Following their arraignment on the information, a second count was added to the information which charged Ardis James with receiving and concealing stolen property over one hundred dollars. 2 To this added count James entered a plea of guilty.
A second count to the information charging Phillips with the same crime as that to which James pleaded guilty was added on August 8, 1967 and on October 10, 1967 the case came to trial. No arraignment or plea to the added count on Phillips' information was had until after his trial began.
During the course of the trial, after the prosecution had put in its case, the trial judge discovered that there had been no arraignment on the second count. The following excerpts from the transcript of the proceedings indicates what then took place:
