CARTER, J.
I concur in the judgment of affirmance and agree generally with the reasoning upon which it is based. I do not, however, agree with that portion of the majority opinion which holds that evidence of other crimes than that with which the defendant is charged may be admitted even though such evidence may tend to connect the defendant with the crime charged. No such evidence was offered in this case and therefore the discussion on this subject is dictum. My position with respect to the admission of evidence of other crimes than that with which a defendant is charged is set forth in my dissents in the following cases: People v. Peete, 28 Cal.2d 306 [169 P.2d 924] and People v. Westek, 31 Cal.2d 469 [190 P.2d 9].
Appellant’s petition for a rehearing was denied February 5, 1953.
