Description
Appellant was accused by indictment of having committed five felonies, to wit: forgery of a will (Pen. Code, § 470), altering a public document (Govt. Code, § 6200), causing to be filed a forged will (Pen. Code, § 115), offering in evidence a forged will (Pen. Code, § 132), preparing a false and antedated will (Pen. Code, § 134). As a part of the same indictment it was alleged that appellant had been convicted of four distinct felonies in the State of Illinois and that he had served a term of imprisonment therefor in the state prison. The indictment contained all of the essentials to constitute a valid accusation. Appellant was convicted on all of the counts except the second and was sentenced to be confined in the state prison for the term prescribed by law upon each of the four counts, the sentences to run concurrently. He grounds his appeal upon the insufficiency of the evidence, errors in admitting and rejecting evidence, misconduct of the prosecuting attorney, errors in giving and refusing instructions and misconduct of the court in communicating with the jury without the presence of counsel.
