1. ““No proof was made as to the size of the room. However, one officer testified (R. 42) as to finding match boxes which held marijuana by the television about six feet from the appellant. There were others in a paper bag on the floor. In the kitchen an officer described a smoking tobacco tin which held marijuana leaves. Marijuana leaves were found in appellant’s pocketbook. “In a chifforobe and in a dresser another officer found letters and papers bearing the appellant’s name. This proof was relevant on the issue of whether or not the bedroom was appellant’s and, consequently, her control of its contents.””
