Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Frederic J. Fredericks, Appellant.
Crimes—robbery, first degree—judgment of conviction reversed for error in admitting evidence of identification — evidence impeaching complaining witness.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, New York county, Criminal Branch, rendered April 27, 1922, convicting the defendant of robbery in the first degree.

Opinion:
Per Curiam:
The judgment should be reversed and a new trial ordered, upon the ground that the evidence of Officer Melley impcaching the testimony of the complaining witness upon the matter of identification was improperly admitted.
