“. . . there was no justification or excuse for the course pursued by the trial court in failing to enter judgment upon the first verdict . . . The jurors were the sole judges of the heinousness of the offense, and of the punishment to be meted out therefor, and so long as they assessed a punishment within the bounds prescribed by the statute their verdict was beyond the control of any earthly power so far as concerns setting it aside and granting a new trial in opposition to the will of the defendant.”
