United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit.

Rehearing Denied March 19, 1968.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James R. Gillespie, San Antonio, Tex., for appellant.

Andrew L. Jefferson, Jr., Asst. U. S. Atty., San Antonio, Tex., for appellee.

Before WISDOM and GOLDBERG, Circuit Judges, and INGRAHAM, District Judge.


GOLDBERG, Circuit Judge:

Rodney Leon Alexander appeals his conviction under a three-count indictment charging him with "stealing, abstracting, and removing" a total of $7.00 from the United States mail in violation of 18 U.S.C.A. § 1709. His appeal challenges the admission into evidence at his trial of six marked one-dollar bills which postal inspectors discovered in Alexander's wallet. We deny the evidentiary acceptability of these bills and reverse.
