Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Louis Milburn, Appellant.
Argued April 13, 1967;
decided May 18, 1967.
Peter F. Nadel and Anthony F. Marra for appellant.
Isidore Dollinger, District Attorney (Arnold Kideckel of counsel), for respondent.

Opinion:
Judgment affirmed. While evidence of prior identification is error (People v. Trowbridge, 305 N. Y. 471; People v. Casería, 19 N Y 2d 18) where the other evidence of identification is as strong and clear as in this case, the admission of said evidence maybe deemed harmless error (Code Grim. Pro., § 542).
Concur: Chief Judge Fuld and Judges Van Voorhis, Burke, Soileppi, Bergan and Keating. Taking no part: Judge Breitel.
