OPINION

COWAN, Judge.

Defendant appeals from a judgment and sentence following his conviction of assault with intent to commit a violent felony, § 40A-3-3, N.M.S.A.1953 (Repl.Vol. 6), and false imprisonment, § 40A-4 — 3, N.M.S.A. 1953 (Repl.Vol. 6). Trial was in Bernalillo County on a change of venue.

We affirm.

The defendant was one of eleven persons against whom various charges were filed, arising out of a raid on the Rio Arriba County Courthouse on June 5, 1967. The matter was given extensive press coverage and there was a great deal of public excitement, high feeling and prejudice in the area.
