“"The principle enunciated in McCall v. State, 120 Fla. 707 , 163 So. 38, 43 , is illustrative and is, viz.: "`It is well settled that where an indictment charges two persons with the crime of unlawful homicide, one of them being charged as principal in the first degree and the other as principal in the second degree, the person charged as principal in the second degree may be put on trial and may be convicted before the trial of or the conviction of the principal in the first degree, and this may be done although the principal in the first degree has been acquitted of the charge. See Rooney v. United States, 9 Cir., 203 F. 928 , 122 C.C.A. 230 * * *.' "The legal effect of the information drawn under Section 7110, C.G.L. [F.S.A. § 776.01], as quoted supra, is to make H.L. Skipper, the appellant here, a principal. * * * The contention that a conviction of Richter and Armstrong, the other principals informed against, is essential to sustain the validity of the judgment entered against the appellant Skipper is without merit."”
