““People v. Sinclair, 129 Cal.App. 320 [ 19 P.2d 23 ], relied on by defendant, does not support Ms thesis, for the court said at page 322, £. . . [Defendant] argues that it is necessary to show that the person accused has the unlawful article on his person, but he has called our attention to no case so holding; and manifestly such is not the law, because if it were it would exclude entirely from the operation of the statute cases of joint possession or possession by carrying the illegal article in an automobile or other conveyance or keeping it in some place under the immediate and exclusive control of the accused. ’ ””
