Description
Defendant was charged in two counts, with violation of § 6-17, W.S. 1957, forgery, - Page 520 and with violation of § 6-38.2, W.S. 1957 (1969 Cum.Supp.), the unlawful use of a credit card, a misdemeanor, and on trial by jury was convicted. On the latter he was sentenced to six months in the county jail, and the sentence was suspended; on the former, he was sentenced to three to five years in the state penitentiary. He has appealed, urging error on two grounds, first, that a violation of the forgery statute cannot stand because a specific statute, § 6-38.2, dealing with the unlawful use of credit cards, controls, and second, the State has failed to prove except by inadmissible hearsay testimony that the credit card was not lawfully in his possession.
