PER CURIAM.

1
The appeal of these two defendants from Securities Act and Mail Fraud charge convictions and sentences raises only the general issue as to sufficiency of the evidence to sustain a verdict of guilt.

2
We find abundant evidence to warrant submission of the case of both appellants to the jury.

3
We also find that the defense of insanity interposed by Laurence was presented to the jury on a proper charge.  Howard v. United States, 5 Cir.,232 F.2d 274.

4
The judgment is affirmed.
