··~ •... Section 172.- Unless otherwise provided, the trial and the

taking of evidence shall be conducted in open Court and in the

presence of the accused.

When the prosecutor· or his counsel and the accused are

before the Court, and, after the Court has been satisfied as to the

identity of the accused, the charge shall be read out and explained to

the accused and he shall then be asked whether or not he has

committed the offence and what will be his defence. The statement
