1. “"In the instant case, we have merely an amendment to the information to allege that the person to whom the forged instrument was published is a person different from that named in the information. The distinction between this case and Singh, supra, lies in the fact that both Mr. O'Dell and Mr. Miller were involved in the same identical transaction or the same identical publishing of the check (both acting as agents of A.J. Bayless Markets, Inc.), and an acquittal as to one would operate as an acquittal to the other. In Singh, supra, an acquittal as to the person first named in the information would not have operated as an acquittal to the second person named for the reason that we were there concerned with two separate and distinct acts of publishing. Substituting O'Dell for Miller did not change the offense and defendant was properly appraised [sic] of the charge against him and the act involved." 4 Ariz. App. at 327, 420 P.2d at 194 .”
