PER CURIAM.
The defendant appeals his nonjury circuit court conviction of second-degree murder under CL 1948, § 750.317 (Stat Ann 1954 Rev § 28.549), claiming the information failed to charge him with any crime, the court erred in failing to require indorsement of an alleged res gestae witness and the conviction of murder in the second degree was against the great weight of the evidence. The first question raised involves an examination of the requirements of an information charging an accused with murder. Defendant alleges the information was defective on the grounds that it charged him with two crimes in the disjunctive ("or") and was therefore duplicitous. Furthermore, defendant alleges that he was denied a fair trial on the ground that he was placed in a perilous position of not knowing the specific crime under which he was charged thereby preventing him from raising a proper defense. The information, where pertinent, reads as follows:
"George Reed a/k/a George Cumbus * * * murdered Jessie Lee Hatten, Contrary to Section 750.316 of the Compiled Laws of 1948: M.S.A. Section 28.548 or Contrary to Section 750.317 of the Compiled Laws of 1948: M.S.A. Section 28.549. ( Maximum penalty — Life)."
Defendant did not object to the form of the information until after the people had concluded their proofs. Thus, he waived any alleged error and the trial court correctly denied the motion. MCLA § 767.76 (Stat Ann 1954 Rev § 28.1016).
Also on appeal this Court will not reverse unless we are satisfied that there was error committed that deprived the defendant of substantial rights or resulted in a miscarriage of justice. MCLA § 769.26 (Stat Ann 1954 Rev § 28.1096), People v. Amos (1968), 10 Mich. App. 533. We do not find such error here.
Second, defendant's allegation that the court erred in failing to require indorsement of the name of an individual who allegedly was present at the scene of the fatal shooting some three hours prior to the shooting lacks merit. There is no affidavit suggesting that this witness was present at the time of the shooting or even remained after having been seen there three hours prior to the shooting. At the time he was present there did not exist any interrelated chain of events leading up to the shooting making the individual a res gestae witness. The record fails to establish that the prosecutor had knowledge of the identity of the alleged witness prior to trial. Additionally, the trial court determined that the witness was not a res gestae witness and refused defendant's motion to have him indorsed on the information. This was within the discretion of the trial judge, and his refusal does not constitute an abuse of judicial discretion. MCLA § 767.40 (Stat Ann 1969 Cum Supp § 28.980), People v. Keys (1968), 9 Mich. App. 482. The failure to require indorsement did not constitute prejudicial error. See People v. Schwartz (1921), 215 Mich. 197.
The allegation that the evidence introduced did not support the conviction of defendant for second-degree murder lacks merit. There was sufficient evidence introduced as noted in the specific finding of facts, if believed, to support the conclusion that defendant was guilty of second-degree murder beyond a reasonable doubt.
Affirmed.
