Head Matter:
John J. KNIGHT, and Delia K. Knight, Appellants v. David HERSH and Nettie Hersh, Appellees.
No. 16337.
United States Court of Appeals District of Columbia Circuit.
Argued Oct. 26, 1961.
Decided Nov. 22, 1961.
Petition for Rehearing Denied Dec. 6, 1961.
Circuit Judge Fahy would grant the petition.
Mr. Cornelius H. Doherty, Washington, D. C., with whom Mr. Cornelius H. Doherty, Jr., Arlington, Va., was on the brief, for appellants.
Mr. Samuel Shapiro, Washington, D. C., for appellees.
Before Edgerton, Fahy, and Dana-her, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The District Court found that the appellees had become entitled by adverse possession to a strip of land along the boundary between their property and the appellants' property. The case turned on a question of fact regarding the former location of a fence. Neither the testimony nor any of the accompanying photographs appears to us to put the answer beyond doubt, and we do not think the District Court's finding clearly erroneous.
Affirmed.
