1. “Under the authority of Bland v. State, 42 Tex. Crim. 286 , 59 S.W. 1119 , this action of the trial court was erroneous. The plea raised a question of fact; and, while the burden was on appellant to show an abuse of the court's discretion in the original discharge of the jury, still he had the right to assume said burden in a case of this kind, and to show by facts, if possible, that the court erred originally in discharging the jury, and, if he was not satisfied with the court's ruling upon the facts presented in support of his plea of jeopardy, he had the right to bring the matter to this Court for review.”
