PER CURIAM.
Appellant was indicted, tried and convicted of the crimes of housebreaking and larceny. The appellant urges that there was insufficient evidence to justify submission to the jury and that the trial court should have directed a verdict of not guilty. We find there was ample evidence to justify the verdict. See Lanham v. United States, 87 U.S.App.D.C. 357, 185 F.2d 435.
The judgment is therefore
Affirmed.
