If, from the evidence on the trial, there is reasonable ground to believe the defendant guilty, and a new indictment can be framed upon which he may be convicted, the court may order him to be recommitted to the officer of the proper county, or admitted to bail anew to answer the new indictment or information. If the evidence shows him guilty of another offense, he must be committed or held thereon; but if no evidence appears sufficient to charge him with any offense, he must, if in custody, be discharged, or, if admitted to bail, his bail is exonerated, or if money has been deposited instead of bail, it must be refunded to the defendant, and the arrest of judgment operates as an acquittal of the charge upon which the indictment or information was founded.
