Heading: Should the endorsement to the information of the names of additional witnesses for the state have been permitted?

Text: The State moved to add the name of Frank Hart to the list of prospective witnesses. The defense added one also. The defense objected to the State's endorsement of an additional witness upon the representation from the State that it was previously unaware of the materiality of Hart's proposed testimony and that the testimony would only be that Hart was present when Walker's fingerprints were taken. The request was granted. Other names were later added at the request of the district attorney for the stated reason that the evidence adduced by Walker at the second trial did not come out at the first trial and therefore the materiality of the testimony of the new witnesses was not foreseeable. No prejudice was shown or appears from allowing the endorsements. There was no error. Gallegos v. State, 84 Nev. ___, 446 P.2d 656 (1968).
