Before CHAMBERS, JERTBERG and KOELSCH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
The judgment of conviction for a violation of 33 U.S.C.A. § 407 is reversed. The "deposit of loose timber and other materials upon the bank of a navigable water, to-wit, San Francisco Bay," was charged.
We are unable to convince ourselves that there is enough evidence in the record from which the jury was entitled to find beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant was guilty.
