Pincite

Opinion

Mr. Justice Luxford

delivered the opinion of the court. *156 We hereinafter refer to plaintiff in error as defendant. Defendant and one Tánger were jointly charged, tried and convicted of conspiracy to obtain money by false pretenses. Tánger brought the judgment against him here for review, and we affirmed his conviction. Tánger v. People, 119 Colo. 83, 200 P. (2d) 922.

The only point urged here by defendant for reversal is the insufficiency of the evidence to sustain the verdict, which he submits without the citation of a single authority. The facts set forth in the Tánger case, supra, which are the same as those in the instant case and to> which reference is hereby made, were such as to justify the jury in finding him guilty as charged. Such facts also were sufficient to warrant the jury in concluding that defendant in the instant case conspired with Tánger to defraud, and in fact did defraud, one Bullis out of $1500.00.

The judgment is accordingly affirmed.

Mr. Chief Justice Burke and Mr. Justice Jackson concur.
