NEBEKER, Associate Judge:

Appellant was tried by a jury and convicted of rape while armed and sodomy, D.C.Code 1973, §§ 22-2801, -3202, -3502. He asserts that the trial court erred in refusing to grant his motion for verdict of acquittal; in refusing to admit certain documentary evidence; and in permitting the government to elicit testimony which, it is asserted, tended to reveal that appellant had been involved in a murder.1
