PER CURIAM.


Appellants were charged in multiple counts of an indictment with certain violations of the lottery laws under §§ 22-1501 and 22-1502 of the District of Columbia Code, 1951 ed. Lee was separately convicted on one count and Allen on two counts. Appellants attack the District Court's denial of motions to suppress evidence for alleged invalidity of a search warrant upon which it was seized; motion for severance, and motion for judgment of acquittal for alleged entrapment.

Consideration of these points upon the basis of the record leads us to the conclusion that the court's rulings were correct. Finding no error the judgments below are

Affirmed.
