The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Thomas F. Barron, Appellant.
   Memorandum by the Court.

Defendant was convicted of the crime of forgery in the second degree (Penal Law, § 887, subd. 4) after a fair trial and upon evidence clearly adequate to sustain the conviction. The short-form indictment employed conformed to sections 295-b, 295-e and 295-d of the Code of Criminal Procedure and was a sufficient written accusation, as to comply with the requirements of the State Constitution. (People v. Bogdanoff, 254 N. Y. 16.) Absent a demand for the particulars of the crime charged (Code Grim. Pro., § 295-g) no duty devolved upon the District Attorney to furnish them and his failure voluntarily so to do deprived defendant of no constitutional right. (People v. Williams, 7 A D 2d 826.) Judgment affirmed. Gibson, P. J., Herlihy, Taylor, Aulisi and Hamm, JJ., concur.
