Opinion of the Court

Atkinson, J.

Where an attorney is appointed by the court to defend a person accused of a felony, the court should allow him a reasonable time for the preparation of the defense, and where a motion for such time is made and refused, and the case is close and doubtful on the facts, justice requires that a new trial should be granted.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concurring.
