Such statements of appellant's wife were not in the presence of appellant and were of course inadmissible as to him and not binding upon him, and the jury was so informed not only once but several times. The following quotation from People v. Tucker, 77 Cal.App.2d 560, at page 567 [ 175 P.2d 872], is applicable here: ". . . The rights of appellant were as well protected as it is possible to protect a codefendant in a criminal case against statements or admissions made by his codefendant.
