The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. John Davis and Ernest Davis, Appellants.

Opinion:
Judgment unanimously reversed, the information dismissed, and the defendant Ernest Davis discharged from custody.

As to the second count, the evidence failed to satisfy the requirements of section 395 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. (See People v. Krasner, 252 App. Div. 731.) Present — Martin, P. J., O'Malley, Townley, Untermyer and Cohn, JJ.
