UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. Francisco FLORES-HERNANDEZ, Appellant.
    No. 26603.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit..
    March 22, 1971.
    Paul W. Colarich, Jr., of Laber, Morrow & Lovallo, Tucson, Ariz., for appellant.
    Richard K. Burke, U. S. Atty., James M. Wilkes, Asst. U. S. Atty., Tucson, Ariz., for appellee.
    Before CHAMBERS, KOELSCH and BROWNING, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

The judgment of conviction for transporting aliens, knowing them to be within the United States illegally, is affirmed-

The question is: Did Hernandez “know.” From the witness stand he denied it. The jury disbelieved him. There was an abundance of circumstantial evidence.
