CHAMBERS, Circuit Judge.

1
Defendants have been convicted of a transportation count on illegally imported narcotics.

2
We have examined the records and briefs and find no error. The judgment is affirmed.

3
It is true that the charge was not proved to a mathematical certainty, but a strong circumstantial evidence case was presented entitling the jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendants were guilty. Essentially the arguments made here for reversal might be quite cogent if the jury accepted them. But it did not.

4
Some hearsay was admitted without objection. In such testimony in this case, we find nothing really prejudicial.

5
Judgment affirmed.
