WHITE v. STATE

No. 1907.

523 P.2d 428 (1974)

Richard Leon WHITE, Appellant, v. STATE of Alaska, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Alaska.

June 17, 1974.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Herbert D. Soll, Public Defender, Lawrence J. Kulik, Asst. Public Defender, Anchorage, for appellant.

Norman C. Gorsuch, Atty. Gen., Juneau, Joseph D. Balfe, Dist. Atty., Steve Dunning, Asst. Dist. Atty., Anchorage, for appellee.

Before RABINOWITZ, C. J., and CONNOR, ERWIN, and BOOCHEVER, JJ.

OPINION

ERWIN, Justice.

Appellant asserts that his conviction of the offense of possession of heroin was invalid because the indictment charging him with unlawful and felonious possession of heroin did not contain a provision stating appellant knew that he was in possession of a narcotic drug.

An identical argument was advanced in Thomas and Crouch v. State, Op.No. 1040, 522 P.2d 528
