418 F.2d 574
4th Cir.
1969
PER CURIAM:

John Clinton Pearce appeals from his conviction on June 5, 1969, of interstate transportation of a stolen motor vehicle in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2312. He asserts that the jury was not free to disregard the testimony of a codefendant whose statements under oath, if taken as true, would absolve the appellant of guilt. There was circumstantial evidence and testimony as to confessions made by the appellant which amply warrant the jury’s verdict of guilty. We find no merit in appellant’s assignment of error. Accordingly, the judgment and sentence are

Affirmed.
