1Opinion of the Court
THORNBERRY, Circuit Judge:
The Government’s evidence showed that Clark, Ellis, Burney, and Buford robbed a federally insured bank in Conyers, Georgia on August 31, 1972. All four were indicted for bank robbery in violation of 18 U.S.C.A. § 2113(a). Burney and Buford pleaded guilty and agreed to testify for the prosecution. Clark and Ellis were convicted upon jury verdicts, and on this appeal they raise several issues, the principal one of which concerns the district court’s refusal to grant Clark’s motion for a severance. Finding each of their contentions to be without merit, we affirm.
