OPINION

CLARK, J.

Defendant appeals from judgment entered on jury verdicts convicting him of raping Mrs. H (Pen. Code, § 261, subds. 2, 3) and burglarizing the apartment of Miss G (Pen. Code, § 459). He contends: (1) The trial court abused its discretion in denying his motion to sever the two counts; and (2) the evidence is insufficient to support the burglary conviction. The judgment is affirmed.
