On Petition for Rehearing.
Hunter, J.Appellee, State of Indiana, has filed a petition for rehearing contending that the juvenile court did conduct a proper hearing to determine if jurisdiction over appellant in the juvenile court should have been waived to the criminal court and that the juvenile court did make a proper waiver. Our original opinion stated that
“There is no indication in the record before us that the Posey Circuit Court, sitting in its capacity as a juvenile court, acquired and waived jurisdiction over the appellant pursuant to the provisions of either Ind. Anno. Stat. § 9-3207 (Supp. 1967) or § 9-3213 (1956).”
In the case of juveniles, it is incumbent upon the State to show a proper waiver, and where the record does not indicate a proper waiver such can be brought to this Court’s attention by a writ of certiorari.
The appellee, State of Indiana, has placed the record of the juvenile waiver proceedings before this Court by a writ of certiorari. From the record of these proceedings it appears that the Posey Circuit Court, sitting in its juvenile capacity, did conduct a proper hearing to determine the question of waiver and that the judge based his decision to waive jurisdiction on the fact that appellant had on three previous occasions been sent tó the Indiana Boys’ School for juvenile offenses, that appellant was seventeen (17) years of age and that it would therefore be in the best interests of the State and the juvenile to waive jurisdiction to the criminal court. The waiver was thereby in accordance with Summers v. State (1967), 248 Ind. 551, 230 N. E. 2d 320, in which this Court *24delineated guidelines for the waiver process. In this regard we stated that a juvenile may properly be waived to a criminal court
“If the offense is part of a repetitive pattern of juvenile offenses which would lead to a determination that said juvenile may be beyond rehabilitation under the regular statutory juvenile procedures.” 230 N. E. 2d at 325.
We find that there was a proper hearing and waiver by the juvenile court and therefore will consider this appeal on the merits.
Appellant is appealing from a conviction in the circuit court of Posey County, Indiana, of the offense of public indecency, Ind. Anno. Stat. § 10-2801 (1956 Repl.)
Prosecution was commenced on the basis of an affidavit charging appellant with the above stated crime, appellant entered a plea of not guilty and thereafter trial was had by jury. The trial resulted in the jury returning a verdict of guilty of the offense charged, and sentenced defendant to six months imprisonment.
The error assigned and relied upon by the appellant is the overruling of his motion for a new trial. In his brief appellant presents only two allegations of error. The question of the sufficiency of the evidence has not been argued in appellant’s brief and the question is therefore waived. Peltz v. State (1953), 232 Ind. 518, 112 N. E. 2d 853.
Appellant first complains that the trial court erred in permitting the twenty-two (22) veniremen who were summoned for petit jury duty to remain in the courtroom, prior to the selection of the jury panel and the beginning of the jury trial in the instant case, while two different defendants were arraigned and charged separately with being a minor in possession of alcoholic liquors. Appellant cites no authority for this contention. We cannot say that this was an irregularity in the proceedings as provided *25in. Ind. Anno. Stat. §9-1908(1) (1956 Repl.), since the proceedings in the instant case had not as yet begun. Nor can we find that appellant was prejudiced for there is nothing in the record to indicate prejudice. In fact, when the veniremen were questioned on voir dire, each prospective petit juror indicated that hearing the arraignment of the defendants whose cases were in no way related to appellant’s case, would not in any way prejudice them in the trial of his case. Appellant’s contention that the veniremen in viewing the arraignment of the separate defendants might be exposed to something in the proceedings which would incriminate or prejudice the defendant, is not a showing of prejudice to the defendant as required by Ind. Anno. Stat. § 9-2320 (1956 Repl.) and decisions too numerous to cite. We hold in the instant case there was no prejudice to the appellant in permitting the veniremen to remain in the courtroom during the arraignment of the other two defendants, and therefore the trial court was not required to excuse the veniremen from the courtroom at appellant’s request.
Appellant further contends that the trial court erred in refusing appellant’s request to instruct the jury to disregard anything they might have heard or observed during the arraignments. Since the jurors had indicated, under oath, that the exposure to the above mentioned arraignment would not in any way prejudice them in the instant case, and since there was no showing of prejudice, the trial court acted within its sound discretion in refusing to instruct the jurors to disregard the events, occurring prior to impaneling of the jury, unrelated as they were, to the case which the jury was to hear, and after the jurors had indicated that what they had seen or heard would not prejudice them in the trial of the case at bar.
Finally appellant argues that there was misconduct on the part of the jury when, after beginning deliberations, they returned to open court and requested of the trial judge that they be informed as to where the defendant would be imprisoned, *26if convicted, and if defendant were sentenced, would any psychiatric treatment be available. Appellant relies on Ind. Anno. Stat. § 9-1903 (1956 Repl.) which reads as follows:
“Causes-Motion. — The court shall grant a new trial to the defendant for the following causes, or any of them: . . . Third. When the jury has received and considered any evidence, paper or document not authorized by the Court. Fourth. When the jury has been guilty of any misconduct tending to prevent a fair and due consideration of the case. . . .”
It is our opinion that the third subsection is not applicable to the case before this Court for the reason it concerns only evidence, papers or documents. Cases cited by appellant indicate that this Court has so interpreted this subsection, Jones v. State (1883), 89 Ind. 82 (volume of Indiana Reports) ; Newkirk v. State (1866), 27 Ind. 1 (volume of a criminal law treatise). Appellant has not shown that the jury had considered any evidence, papers, or document not authorized by the court, and the mere asking of a question by the jury does not indicate that they had considered such evidence.
Appellant cites Deming v. State (1956), 235 Ind. 282, 133 N. E. 2d 51 for support of his argument of misconduct on the part of the jury. However Deming involved a communication by the judge to the jury related to the substantive rights of the defendant and not made in open court in the presence of the defendant. In the instant case the trial judge did not respond to the jury’s question. Furthermore defense counsel had two opportunities to object to the alleged misconduct: at the time the questions were asked and when the jury returned from deliberations. Failure to make a timely objection waives the right to object at a later time. Brown v. State (1964), 245 Ind. 604, 201 N. E. 2d 281.
For all the foregoing reasons, we hold that the rehearing is granted and that the judgment should be affirmed.
Rehearing granted.
*27Judgment affirmed.
This opinion supercedes the opinion filed November 15, 1967.
