No. 61550.

342 N.E.2d 100

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. HENRY VAN BROUGHTON, Defendant-Appellant.

Appellate Court of Illinois — First District (5th Division).

Opinion filed January 23, 1976.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Streicker and Brenda E. Richey, both of State Appellate Defender's Office, of Chicago, for appellant.

Bernard Carey, State's Attorney, of Chicago (Laurence J. Bolon, Linda Ann Miller, and Eugene J. Rudnik, Jr., Assistant State's Attorneys, of counsel), for the People.

Judgment affirmed.

Mr. JUSTICE SULLIVAN delivered the opinion of the court:

Defendant brings this appeal after a jury had convicted him of the murder of Mary Ann Combs. He contends that his conviction was based upon an improperly admitted dying declaration and the testimony of an incompetent seven-year-old child. Further, assuming the conviction was proper, he contends the sentence of 75 to 150 years was excessive.
