PER CURIAM.
This appeal is from a judgment of conviction for violation of the narcotic laws, 26 U.S.C. § 4744(a) (Supp. V, 1958). The appeal questions the admissibility in evidence of certain articles claimed to have been procured in an unlawful manner by a member of the Metropolitan Police Department. Upon consideration of uncontradicted testimony as to the relevant circumstances we conclude that the articles in question were not obtained by means of any unlawful conduct on the part of the officer.
Affirmed.
