MOORE, P. J.
I concur in the judgment. The evidence supporting the finding of appellant’s fraudulent intent is his own confession that he advertised the restaurant for sale; that he accepted $500 on account of the purchase price and kept it. The witness North, agent of the buyers, testified that appellant told him that he had not touched his points for September *964and October; that he was allowed approximately 90,000 meat points and 37,000 processed points and had more than 8,500 points left for August; that his points were in the Bank of America and would transfer the points at once through the bank and the O.P.A. The witness Brockman gave similar testimony. Appellant told the arresting officer he had 8,990 meat points in his account at the bank, when he sold the restaurant. (152.) The uncontradicted proof is that he received only 6,510 meat points for July and August; that at the time of the sale he had only 162 meat points; and only 1,374 points for processed foods on September 23. (143.) From such testimony the inference of a felonious intent was a rational step for the jury and its finding will not be disturbed on appeal. (People v.
