William E. McFARLAND, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES, Appellee.

Municipal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

Decided September 13, 1960.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John Henry Fallon, for appellant.

John Jude O'Donnell, Asst. U. S. Atty., Washington, D. C., with whom Oliver Gasch, U. S. Atty., and Carl W. Belcher, Asst. U. S. Atty., Washington, D. C., were on the brief, for appellee.

Before ROVER, Chief Judge, and HOOD and QUINN, Associate Judges.

HOOD, Associate Judge.

Appellant and another man were charged with an unlawful attempt to enter a private building.1 Although both men were tried together and found guilty by a jury, only appellant takes an appeal on the grounds that (1) the court should not have admitted into evidence a hammer found at the scene of the alleged crime and (2) the court should have granted his motion for a judgment of acquittal.
