Description

Plaintiff in error was convicted under all three counts of an information alleging: 1, Cheating and swindling; 2, false pretenses; and 3, a confidence game. The trial court imposed a sentence of five to seven years. As grounds for seeking reversal in this court, plaintiff in error, whom we shall hereafter refer to as defendant, makes assignments of error which counsel for the defendant has epitomized, and counsel for the people have likewise discussed, under four headings: 1. The court should have granted defendants motion to strike the testimony of witnesses McAfee, ONeal, Filson, Hamilton and Dickman; 2. The trial court should have directed a verdict of not guilty as to count three charging confidence game; 3. The court should not have admitted in evidence, over the objection and exception of defendant, exhibits I, J, K, and L, being prospectuses by the Savol Supply Company, a Kansas corporation; and 4. The court should not have admitted in evidence, over the objection and exception of defendant, exhibits M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, and T, relating to the Cokano Investment Company.
