Lehman, Ch. J., Lewis and Conway, JJ.,
concur; Rippey, J., concurs as to Podinker, but votes to reverse the judgment of conviction and to dismiss the indictment as to Peller on the ground that the evidencé is insufficient, as a matter of law, to sustain his conviction beyond a reasonable doubt; Lotjghban and Desmond, JJ., dissent in part in the following memorandum: “ If there is to be a new trial here, it should be on the firm ground that the People’s witnesses just could not be believed. That requires a new trial for Podinker as well as for Peller, and we so vote.”
Judgment accordingly.
