CONLEY, P. J.
I dissent. The defendant was charged in the information with murder; he was convicted of battery, an offense “not necessarily included in the former,” as conceded in the foregoing opinion. It is established beyond cavil in this state that “A person cannot be convicted of an offense (other than a necessarily included offense) not charged against him by "indictment or information, whether or not there was evidence at his trial to show that he had committed that offense” (In re Hess, 45 Cal.2d 171, 174-175 [288 P.2d 5]). (See also People v. Kennedy, 133 Cal.App.2d 693, 694 [284 P.2d 898].) I would reverse the judgment.
