   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  95-3760
                          and No:  95-3762
                          and No:  95-3761
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Criminal law - When district court determined one of the three defendants'
   attorney was to be called as a witness, court should have severed cases and
   should not have declared a mistrial; since the mistrial was not a manifest
   necessity, double jeopardy bars retrial of the two defendants not
   represented by the attorney/witness; however, the defendant represented
   by the attorney/witness may be retried since disqualification of his
   attorney made mistrial a necessity.
