On Motion for Rehearing.
PER CURIAM.
On motion for rehearing we are referred to the cases of United States v. Wilson, Fed.Cas. No. 16,730, United States v. Reeves, C.C., 38 F. 404, and Madigan v. United States, 8 Cir., 23 F.2d 180, to show that the display of firearms to put one in fear constitutes jeopardy, of life. These cases arose under other statutes, including R.S. §§ 5472 and 5473, repealed and substituted by Criminal Code § 197, 18 U.S.C.A. § 320. They also related to the sufficiency of the evidence and to charges thereon rather than to the allegations necessary to be made in the indictment. Without discussing the correctness of these decisions, we may call attention to a great difference in the statutes. Those there considered did *604not expressly mention “putting in fear” as a form of the unaggravated offense, as does 12 U.S.C.A. § 588b(a). We continue to think there is a difference between “putting one in fear” with a pistol under Section 588b(a), and “putting his life.in jeopardy by the use” of it under Section 588b(b).
Motion denied.
