Opinion:
PAGE, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiff in error here urges that he was wrongfully convicted on the unsupported testimony of an accomplice. A careful examination of the record shows that there was corroboration; but, if there was not, that would not be ground for reversal. Caminetti v. United States, 242 U. S. 470, 495, 37 Sup. Ct. 192, 61 L. Ed. 442, L. R. A. 1917F, 502, Ann. Cas. 1917B, 1168; Richardson v. United States, 181 Fed. 1, 104 C. C. A. 69; Holmgren v. United States, 217 U. S. 509, 30 Sup. Ct. 588, 54 L.
