ROBERTSON, Justice, for the Court:
That an accused should be put to trial only for that with which he has been formally charged has long been accepted in our society. The accused is said entitled to reasonable advance notice of the charges he must answer at trial. The jury's attention should not be deflected nor its passions inflamed by evidence of other illegal or otherwise anti-social conduct of the defendant.
