1Opinion of the CourtKaplan, J.
Richard Ferguson, convicted by a jury of the crimes of robbery while armed with a dangerous weapon, and assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, the weapon specified under each charge being a knife, takes his appeal under the provisions of G. L. c. 278, § § 33A-33G. He assigns eleven errors and argues ten of them. We affirm the judgments.
It will be convenient to summarize the story as told by the victim Donald Merowitz and police lieutenant Thomas Moran, called by the prosecution, and then to indicate the line taken by the defendant and his wife, the witnesses for the defence.
