Description
The defendant was presented in the
            Superior Court on an information charging him with
            thirteen counts of arson in violation of 53-83 of
            the General Statutes. Following a jury trial,
            separate verdicts of guilty were returned on ten
            counts and verdicts of not guilty were returned on
            three counts. The court accepted the verdicts.
            Thereafter, the defendant filed a motion to set
            aside "the verdict" which the court and counsel
            treated as a motion to set aside each guilty
            verdict. Following a hearing on the motion, the
            court set aside the verdicts on four counts but
            refused to set aside the verdicts on the remaining
            six counts. Judgment was rendered on the verdicts
            on six counts, and an identical sentence to the
            state prison was imposed on each count, the
            sentences to run concurrently.   The defendant has appealed from the judgment,
            assigning error in the finding; in the denial of a
            motion to suppress the testimony of certain police
            officers; in the refusal to charge the jury as
            requested in the charge as given; and in the denial
            of the motion to set aside the verdicts on the six
            counts on which judgment was rendered, the claim
            being that those verdicts were not supported by
            the evidence.
