Opinion:
Judgments of conviction affirmed on the ground that the evidence was amply sufficient to sustain the conviction of each defendant and that there was no prejudicial error in any of the rulings of the Trial Judge. In People v. Ertel (283 N. Y. 519) all the judges agreed that the better practice is to charge the jury in the words of section 1045-a of the Penal Law. The trial court did not err in declining to depart from this rule in this case. (See 293 N. Y. 693.)
