Opinion

No. 15891.

Burkett H. Martin, M.E. Ward, Vicksburg, Miss., Dent, Ward Martin, Vicksburg, Miss., for appellant.

Landman Teller, Vicksburg, Miss., Simon Herold, Shreveport, La., Teller Biedenharn, Vicksburg, Miss., for appellee.

Before RIVES, TUTTLE and JONES, Circuit Judges.

Our examination of the record convinces us that there was sufficient evidence, if believed by the jury, to authorize its verdict.

The judgment is therefore

Affirmed.
