Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Leonard Abruzzese, Appellant.
Submitted June 3, 1938;
decided July 7, 1938.
Frank J. Pino for appellant.
The People failed to prove a delivery within the meaning of either section. (People v. Goldberg, 146 App. Div. 950; 131 N. Y. Supp. 481; People v. Visconti, 234 N. Y. 165; People v. Kaminsky, 245 App. Div. 768; 280 N. Y. Supp. 900.)
William F. X. Geoghan, District Attorney (Henry J. Walsh of counsel), for respondent.
The appellant’s guilt was proved beyond a reasonable doubt. (People v. Goldberg, 146 App. Div. 950; People v. Visconti, 234 N. Y. 165.)

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The judgment should be affirmed. In this case there is proof, lacking in People v. Berman (278 N. Y. 408), decided herewith, of a delivery even though insufficient to pass title.
The judgment should be affirmed.
Lehman, O'Brien, Htjbbs, Loughran and Finch, JJ., concur; Rippey, J., dissents; Crane, Ch. J., taking no part.
Judgment affirmed.
