Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Dominick Di Maggio, Appellant.
First Department,
June 24, 1927.
K. Henry Rosenberg, for the appellant.
Robert C. Taylor, Assistant District Attorney, of counsel [Joab H. Banton, District Attorney], for the respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
There is no evidence that the defendant had a revolver upon or near his person, nor of any conspiracy between him and the persons upon whom revolvers were found. There was no basis for a finding that the defendant was in possession or control of a revolver directly or as a conspirator.
For these reasons the judgment appealed from should be reversed and the indictment dismissed.
