EAGER, Presiding Judge
(concurring in result).
The majority opinion considered several matters which were concededly not preserved in the motion for new trial, and does so upon appellant’s request to consider them as “Plain errors affecting substantial rights * * *” under Rule 27.20(c). Conceivably, the claim of error concerning Instruction No. 2 might have been so considered; the indictment is, of course, properly considered without specification of error. The other alleged errors considered in the opinion, namely, those concerning Instruction No. 5, the admission of evidence, and rulings upon the argument, cannot possibly be considered under Rule 27.20(c) without disregarding entirely the rules and procedure for the proper preservation of error upon appeal. I merely concur in the affirmance of the judgment.
