This is an appeal from a conviction for violation of the abortion statute, D.C.Code, § 22-201 (1961). One Hunt was convicted as the person who performed the abortion, cf. Hunt v. United States, 1962, 112 U.S.App.D.C. ___, 301 F.2d 255. Appellant Bush was convicted as the person who procured it. After considering the contentions advanced by appellant, we find no error affecting substantial rights.

Affirmed.
