KOELSCH, C.J.: This is an appeal by Woodrow W. Cape from a judgment of conviction under the Hobbs Anti-Racketeering Act, 18 U.S.C.A. ? 1951. The indictment was in two counts: the first charged appellant with extorting $1,000.00 from A.J. Curtis and Ben Mapes, agents of certain corporations engaged in pipeline construction in interstate commerce; the second charged him with extortion by attempting to obtain an automobile from A.J. Curtis; both counts alleged that appellant accomplished the extortion with consent of the victims ". . . by wrongful use of actual and threatened force, violence, and fear . . . ." The jury acquitted Cape of the second count, but found him guilty of the first; he was sentenced to one year imprisonment. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.A. ?? 1291 and 1294.
