Before: LEVIN, P.J., and R.B. BURNS and J.H. GILLIS, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OPINION. Defendant appeals his conviction of kidnapping assigning error because of: (1) the expression by the prosecutor of his personal opinion of complainant's credibility, (2) a suggestive pretrial showup and (3) certain objectionable testimony.

MCLA § 750.349 (Stat Ann 1954 Rev § 28.581).

The alleged errors were not preserved for appellate review: (1) no objection was made to the prosecutor's argument, and such argument could have been cured by an appropriate instruction, (2) the defendant was represented by counsel at the showing; no motion to suppress or objection was made at the trial concerning the showup and (3) no objection was made at the trial to the testimony.
