UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. Willie J. VAUGHN, Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Decided November 5, 1973.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gerald M. Werksman, Chicago, Ill., for appellant.

Allen L. Donielson, U. S. Atty., Des Moines, Iowa, for appellee.

Before HEANEY, STEPHENSON and WEBSTER, Circuit Judges.


WEBSTER, Circuit Judge.

Willie J. Vaughn appeals his conviction for distribution of heroin in violation of Title 21 United States Code, Section 841. Only one issue was presented for review: whether appellant was prejudiced by the admission into evidence of testimony relating to recent similar crimes by other persons in the same area as the crime alleged in the indictment. We hold appellant was not unfairly prejudiced and affirm the judgment of conviction.
