Rehearing En Banc Granted September 4, 1981.
TJOFLAT, Circuit Judge:
The appellant, Nelson Bell, was convicted under 18 U.S.C. § 2113(b) (1976), the federal "Bank Robbery" statute. He appeals his conviction, claiming that, as a matter of law, the evidence was inadequate to support the jury's finding that he took bank money and carried it away with the intent to steal or purloin. We reverse the conviction for insufficient evidence.
