    Before CHAMBERS, ELY and WRIGHT, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

The judgment of conviction is affirmed as to all appellants except as to Clark Gable Timmons.

There was improper hearsay evidence admitted. As to Clark Gable Timmons, this testimony may well have been the determining factor in the jury’s mind. As to the remaining defendants, other testimony was overwhelming.

Additional points raised are without merit.
