When two or more defendants
are jointly indicted or informed against for any offense and there is material
evidence, not relating to reputation, which is admissible against one or some of
them but which is not admissible against all of them if they are tried separately and
which is prejudicial to those against whom it is not admissible, those against whom
such evidence is admissible shall be tried separately upon motion of any of those
against whom the evidence is not admissible. In all other cases, defendants jointly
