    decided May 29, 1986
    
      APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
    
      Lisabeth Harrison and Philip L. Weinstein for appellant.
    
      Robert M. Morgenthau, District Attorney (Rona Feinberg and Joyce P. Adolfsen of counsel), for respondent.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

Order affirmed. We agree with the Appellate Division that the admission into evidence of the knife case, if error, was nonetheless harmless inasmuch as the jury heard the knife case described in testimony to which defendant did not object. Moreover, the evidence that defendant intentionally killed the victim, including the testimony of an eyewitness and defendant’s own admission, was overwhelming.

Concur: Chief Judge Wachtler and Judges Meyer, Simons, Kaye, Alexander and Hancock, Jr. Taking no part: Judge Titone.
