Swanson, J.

William F. Escue

appeals from a conviction of robbery on the sole ground that the state failed to prove venue, ie., that the alleged crime took place in King County.

Appellant relies upon Const, art. 1, § 22 (amendment 10) which gives an accused the right to be tried in the county in which the offense allegedly occurred.
