Where, in an indictment charging the defendant with obtaining thirty dollars by means and use of a confidence game and with larceny of that sum, the \u201cfelony charge\u201d is waived by the People, no conviction can be had for obtaining money by false pretenses inasmuch as the waiver eliminated both charges, no conviction being valid on any charge not set forth in an indictment even though entered on a plea of guilty.\nEdward H.
