William Bennett Turner and Anthony F. Marra for appellant.

The defendant was tried with a codefendant and was implicated by name in the latter’s confession which was received into evidence. Since this confession was held by the Appellate Division to be inadmissible and a new trial was ordered as to the codefendant, the Appellate Division should also have reversed this defendant’s conviction and ordered a new trial in the interests of justice. (See, e.g., People v. Morgan, 17 N Y 2d 696 ; People v. Donovan, 13 N Y 2d 148 , 154; People v. Robinson, 13 N Y 2d 296 ; People v. Rodriguez, 11 N Y 2d 279 , 285; People v. Noble, 9 N Y 2d 571 , 575; People v. Waterman, 9 N Y 2d 561 , 567; People v. Abel, 298 N. Y. 333 ; People v. Rudish, 294 N. Y. 500 .)

The judgment should be reversed and a new trial ordered.
