SCHNACKENBERG, Circuit Judge.
. I concur in the foregoing opinion, with the following explanation.
The defendant’s motion to vacate or correct judgment and sentence filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255, shows that the handbook for petit jurors was delivered by the person in charge of the petit jurors in the instant case, pursuant to a rule adopted by the district judges for the Northern District of Illinois on June 23, 1950. Defendant’s counsel was therefore chargeable with notice that upon the trial the jurors had the handbook for examination. Despite this fact, the question was not raised upon defendant’s trial, in any manner whatsoever.
Moreover, upon oral argument, defendant’s attorney informed this court that the handbook used in this case was not the same form of handbook as that which was used in United States v. Gordon, 7 Cir., 253 F.2d 177.
