PER CURIAM:


The judgment of conviction is affirmed in this judge-tried criminal case.

The defendant committed the act involved in the indictment. The question was on his sanity measured by Wade v. United States, 9th Cir., 426 F.2d 64 (1970).

We conclude the trial court could find Russell sane beyond a reasonable doubt, and we should not disturb its finding.
