The opinion

McCORD, Circuit Judge

(dissenting).

In view of the language of the original majority opinion holding that under the evidence the defendant was entitled to a directed verdict, I am in no wise surprised that the defendant is now here again seeking an acquittal. His motion only accentuates the errors of the majority opinion, wheréin the evidence pointed unerringly to his guilt. The conviction should have been affirmed.

I dissent.
