Salani

The appellants were indicted by a grand jury and charged with numerous counts of felony. A single count charged appellants with a violation of Penal Code section 182 (conspiracy to violate Pen. Code, § 337a); other counts of the indictment charged appellants with numerous violations of Penal Code section 337a, subdivisions 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6. After trial before the court without a jury, appellants were found guilty on the conspiracy count; appellant Salani was also found guilty on counts 21 through 36, and appellant Conniff was found' guilty on counts 13 through 15, and 17 through 28, all charging violations of Penal Code section 337a. Appellant Salani was sentenced to one year in the county jail on each count on which he was convicted, and appellant Conniff was sentenced to 90 days in the county jail on each of the counts upon which he was convicted. The sentences of each appellant were ordered to run concurrently as to each count.

On this appeal appellants first contend that the evidence is insufficient to support the judgment. There is no substance to this contention as a brief reference to the evidence received at the trial will show.
