The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Lorenzo Mottolo, Appellant.
   Judgment of the Court of "Special Sessions of the City of New York, Borough of Brooklyn, convicting defendant of a violation of sections 244 and 483 of the Penal Law, reversed on the law, the information dismissed and the defendant discharged. The proof did not show defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and the unsworn testimony of a six-year-old child was not sufficiently supported by other evidence, as required by section 392 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Lewis, P. J., Carswell, Johnston, Adel and Nolan, JJ., concur.
