THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. CHRIS G. REHM, Appellant.

Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County, rendered February 28, 1958, convicting him of burglary in the third degree and grand larceny in the second degree, after a jury trial, and sentencing him to serve 5 to 10 years on the burglary count and 2 1/2 to 5 years on the larceny count, the sentences to run consecutively. Judgment reversed on the law and the facts and a new trial ordered. In our opinion, it was prejudicial error to allow the jury to consider the defendant's withdrawn plea of guilty ( People v. Spitaleri, 9 N.Y.2d 168). The repeated references to such plea, which was also mentioned in the court's charge to the jury, deprived the defendant of a fair trial. We do not pass upon the other alleged errors. Nolan, P.J., Beldock, Kleinfeld, Christ and Pette, JJ., concur.
