New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. . Charles J. Everhardt

March 1, 1887104 N.Y. 591

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction for second-degree forgery, holding that the accomplice's testimony was properly corroborated, the use of the defendant's multiple aliases in oath administration did not prejudice the trial, and the court retained jurisdiction to enter judgment despite a delayed pronouncement. The Court found no error in the admission of evidence of other forgeries to show guilty knowledge, and concluded the defendant waived any objection to the delay.
