Opinion
We have examined carefully the record before us and doubled the time for oral argument by appellant’s counsel. Three principal errors are claimed. (1) Once there is proof that a document or copy thereof has been destroyed or lost for whatever reason, secondary evidence may properly be admitted in its place, within the judicial discretion of the trial court. This discretion is large when there is no objection. (2) We find the charge of misconduct on the part of the prosecution unsupported by the record. (3) The instructions given by the trial judge were without error. The judgment based on the jury conviction is affirmed.
