The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. John Gorbon and Lawrence Placek, Appellants.
    
    
      
       Appeal as to defendant Placek withdrawn, 252 N, Y. 618.
    
   Judgment of conviction and order as to the defendant Placek affirmed. Judgment of conviction and order as to the defendant Gorbon reversed and a new trial granted on questions of law only, the court having examined all the facts and found no error therein, upon the ground that the evidence was insufficient to warrant a conviction. All concur, except Taylor, J., who dissents as to the defendant Placek and votes for reversal and granting a new trial as to him upon the ground that the verdict is against the weight of the evidence. Present — Sears, P. J., Crouch, Taylor, Edgeomb and Crosby, JJ.
