Per Curiam.

The defendant was convicted of the crime of larceny and has appealed ‍‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍to this court. The only point relied upon for reversal is that the court allowed the prosecuting attorney after the jury had been sworn ‍‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍to indorse upon the information the names of two witnesses for the state, who were thereafter permitted to testify in the cause. This point ‍‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍has been expressly passed upon by this court in State v. Bokien, ante, p. 403, contrary to the contention of the appellant, the opinion therein having ‍‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍been filed since this appeal was taken. As we are satisfied with that holding and as it does not appear that the discretion of ‍‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍the court was improperly exercised in this instance, the judgment is affirmed.
