Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Anthony Russo, Appellant.

Opinion:
Judgment of conviction of the County Court of Nassau county, and order denying motion for a new trial, reversed upon the law and the facts, and a new trial ordered. We think the interruption by the learned trial judge of the cross-examination of the complaining witness, for the purpose of conducting an investigation" of the official acts of the committing magistrate and his stenographer, constituted reversible error. Kelly, P. J., Jaycox, Manning, Young and Kapper, JJ., concur.
