Alan A. May, Detroit, for defendant-appellant.
Frank J. Kelley, Atty. Gen., Robert A. Derengoski, Sol. Gen., William L. Cahalan, Pros. Atty., Dominick R. Carnovale, Chief, Appellate Div., Gerard A. Poehlman, Asst. Pros. Atty., for plaintiff-appellee.
Before LESINSKI, C.J., and J. H. GILLIS and BEASLEY, * JJ.
Defendant appeals his nonjury conviction of larceny in a building. M.C.L.A. § 750.360 (Stat.Ann.1954 Rev. § 28.592).
Defendant claims error in plaintiff's failure to indorse and produce an alleged Res gestae witness, 1 a co-defendant whose case was subsequently dismissed. The rule requiring the people to indorse on the information and call all Res gestae witnesses does not apply to accomplices. People v. Brown (1969), 15 Mich.App. 600, 167 N.W.2d 107; People v. Chaney (1970), 21 Mich.App. 120, 174 N.W.2d 919; People v. Morgan (1970), 24 Mich.App. 660, 180 N.W.2d 842.
Defendant also alleges that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict. An accused guilt may be proved inferentially. People v. Moceri (1940), 294 Mich. 483, 293 N.W. 727. We are satisfied that the evidence taken as a whole, including reasonable inferences therefrom, supports the trial court's finding that the defendant was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. People v. Helcher (1968), 14 Mich.App. 386, 165 N.W.2d 669.
Affirmed.
* WILLIAM R. BEASLEY, Circuit Judge for the County of Oakland, appointed by the Supreme Court for the hearing month of November, 1970 pursuant to § 306 P.A.1964, No. 281.
1 M.C.L.A. § 767.40 (Stat.Ann.1970 Cum.Supp. § 28.980).
