Before BROWN, Chief Judge, GODBOLD, Circuit Judge, and CABOR, District Judge.
PER CURIAM:

1
The record demonstrates that appellant adequately preserved an exception to the court's failure to give a requested instruction on insanity.  Oral argument demonstrated that the case must be reversed and remanded for retrial under Blake v. United States, 5 Cir.  (en banc) 1969, 407 F.2d 908 and it was so ordered from the bench.

2
Reversed and remanded.
