No. 72-1393.
United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
July 26, 1972.
Nils R. Douglas (Court-appointed), Collins & Douglas, New Orleans, La., for defendant-appellant.

Before TUTTLE, COLEMAN and CLARK, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
The principal ground of appeal from this conviction of appellant for knowingly possessing articles stolen from the United States mail, 18 U.S.C.A. § 1708, is that incriminating statements made by Jones during his detention should have been stricken as having been improperly obtained by the arresting officers. A careful reading of the record convinces us that the Miranda proceedings were fully carried out and incriminating statements were made both before and after the appellant signed a waiver.
We have carefully considered the other grounds of appeal and find them to be without merit.
The judgment is affirmed.
