No. 73-3299 Summary Calendar.

489 F.2d 701 (1974)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. John Cornelius HAMMONS, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

February 19, 1974.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ralph Loveless, Mobile, Ala., for defendant-appellant.

Charles White-Spunner, U. S. Atty., Irwin W. Coleman, Asst. U. S. Atty., Mobile, Ala., for plaintiff-appellee.

Before COLEMAN, DYER and RONEY, Circuit Judges.


PER CURIAM:
