“If, after a mistrial has been duly ordered, the prosecuting officer enters a nolle prosequi , such will not be a bar to a subsequent prosecution for the same offense. ... [as it] would not adjudicate either the innocence or the guilt of the respondent and would be no bar to his future prosecution for the same offense.”
