The defendant appealed his conviction for murder. He complained of the wrongful admission against him of a letter written by another defendant, and that the judge had allowed the jury to get a misleading impression of proceedings against others involved.
Held: The admission of the letter had been neither incorrect nor significant, and the jury had not been misled as to proceedings against other defendants. He had in any event been charged on the basis of his close involvement in the acts either of himself or of others. The appeal was dismissed.
