This is a writ of error prosecuted by Chris D.

A separate writ of error has been sued out by Duden and, in an opinion delivered this day, the judgment of conviction has been affirmed as to him. See: People v. Duden, ante, p. 16.

Inasmuch as the facts, the assignments of error, the issues, the briefs and arguments presented and the authorities relied upon are identical in each cause, every question raised by the plaintiff in error here has been decided in the Duden case
adversely to him. For the reasons stated in the opinion in th Duden case, the judgment of conviction entered against the plaintiff in error must be and is affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
