   PER CURIAM.

Convicted of forging endorsements on six checks, of uttering the checks with the endorsements so forged, and of causing them to be transported in interstate commerce, Miss Karikas appealed. On November 9, 1961, we affirmed. Karikas v. United States, 111 U.S.App.D.C. 312, 296 F.2d 434. The appellant filed in the District Court December 8, 1961, a motion for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence that would tend to show she did not participate in the proceeds of the fraud. After an eviden-tiary hearing, the District Court denied the motion. This appeal followed.

We think the proffered evidence, even if it be considered newly discovered, was insufficient to require the District Court to grant a new trial.

Affirmed.
