Opinion

PER CURIAM.

James O. Mitchell was observed by house detectives as he snatched a wallet from the purse of a woman in a crowded department store. He was immediately apprehended, and thereafter was indicted for robbery, tried and convicted.

On appeal, diligent counsel appointed to represent appellant complain that the detectives were permitted to testify they saw Mitchell touch the purses of other women in the store just before he was seen robbing the complaining witness. They say this was reversible error. We do not agree.

Affirmed.
