The following excerpt is from United States v. Perez, 491 F.2d 167 (9th Cir. 1974):
As a general rule evidence of other offenses is not admissible; but this court has recognized that, "Proof of other crimes has * * * been held admissible * * * to establish motive or intent, or absence of mistake or accident, * * * or when the acts proved are so inextricably mixed or connected with the crime charged as to tend to prove it * * *." Parker v. United States, 400 F.2d 248, 252 (9 Cir. 1968), cert. denied, 393 U.S. 1097, 89 S.Ct. 892, 21 L.Ed.2d 789 (1969).
