1Opinion of the Court
AINSWORTH, Circuit Judge:
Gerald Pini, Frederick Bonomo 1 and Gordon Franklin appeal their convictions on charges of transporting stolen goods in interstate commerce, knowing the same to have been stolen, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2314, 2 and of violating 18 U.S.C. § 371 3 by conspiring to violate 18 U.S.C. § 2314, asserting numerous errors in their trial. The contentions that Bonomo and Pini advance are meritless and we therefore affirm their convictions. However, we find insufficient evidence to support Franklin’s convictions and reverse.
