UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Flavis C. PIERCE, Defendant-Appellant

The refusal to grant a continuance at the request of appellant because of the absence of a defense witness was in the discretion of the trial court, and that discretion was not abused. Barnes v. United States, 374 F.2d 126 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 389 U.S. 917 , 88 S.Ct. 246 , 19 L.Ed.2d 273 (1967). McShann v. United States, 38 F.2d 635 (5th Cir. 1930).
The court did not err in admitting the testimony of the witness Charles Leverett of admissions made to him by appellant concerning where appellant had secured checks of the type which he was charged with transporting, even though the admissions implied the checks had been stolen. Matthews v. United States, 5 Cir. 1969, 407 F.2d 1371 , Mar. 3, 1969; Samora v. United States, 5 Cir. 1969, 406 F.2d 1095 .
Affirmed.
