It was alleged further therein that Allen also had been convicted of two other felonies (forgery and escape). Trial by jury was waived. By stipulation the ease of the People was submitted on the transcript of the preliminary examination. Neither defendant testified. Bach defendant was found guilty as charged. The allegations as to prior convictions of Allen were found to be true. Motions for a new trial were denied.
