v.
HUTSON
Docket No. 6,629.
Michigan Court of Appeals.
Decided June 29, 1970.
Frank J. Kelley, Attorney General, Robert A. Derengoski, Solicitor General, and Edward A. Quinnell, Prosecuting Attorney, for the people.
Douglas B. Vielmetti, for defendant on appeal.
*110 Before: FITZGERALD, P.J., and J.H. GILLIS and O'HARA,[*] JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Defendant Clifford Hutson was charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder.[1] He was convicted by a jury of the lesser included offense of felonious assault.[2] The charge grew out of an assault by defendant against Raymond Champagne in the dormitory of the state prison at Marquette where both were prisoners.
Defendant appeals as of right alleging that his motion for a new trial should have been granted because the prosecution failed to ascertain and produce res gestae witnesses at trial and because the prosecution failed to insure the attendance of Champagne at the trial. Defendant failed to object at trial to either of the alleged errors.
The failure to indorse res gestae witnesses cannot be urged as error in the absence of a motion to indorse made during trial, People v. Amos (1968), 10 Mich App 533; People v. Prescott (1934), 268 Mich 606, nor may it be raised for the first time on a motion for a new trial, People v. Dimitroff (1948), 321 Mich 205.
Likewise, the failure to object to the absence of Champagne and the use of his preliminary examination testimony at trial defeats defendant's appeal on this point. People v. Paul F. Baker (1967), 7 Mich App 471. Barber v. Page (1968), 390 US 719 (88 S Ct 1318, 20 L Ed 2d 255), is not applicable here because a good faith effort to produce Champagne was made by the prosecution. The transcript was *111 properly admitted into evidence and defendant's right to confrontation was not abridged. MCLA § 768.26 (Stat Ann 1954 Rev § 28.1049); People v. Pickett (1954), 339 Mich 294 (45 ALR2d 1341), cert den 349 US 937 (75 S Ct 781, 99 L Ed 1266); People v. Johnston (1950), 328 Mich 213 (20 ALR 2d 1001).
Affirmed.
