Before CHAMBERS and TRASK, Circuit Judges, and MURRAY,* District Judge.
PER CURIAM:

1
The judgment of conviction for theft and for possession of stolen goods (four counts) from interstate commerce is affirmed.

2
There was no mathematical proof that the goods had not left interstate commerce, but the jury could have found, on the circumstances of the case, beyond a reasonable doubt that the interstate transit had not terminated.  This the jury did.  Other elements of the crime are clearly present.

3
Other points we find without substance.
