No. 42513.

March 24, 1972.

Criminal law — conviction of attempted robbery — propriety of verdict.

Appeal by Warner R. Mims from a judgment of the Hennepin County District Court, Rolf Fosseen, Judge, whereby he was convicted of attempted burglary. Affirmed.

C. Paul Jones, State Public Defender, and Doris O. Huspeni, Assistant State Public Defender, for appellant.

Warren Spannaus, Attorney General, George M. Scott, County Attorney, and Henry W. McCarr, Jr., and David G. Roston, Assistant County Attorneys, for respondent.

Heard before Knutson, C. J., and Kelly, Todd, and Mason, JJ.


A jury found defendant guilty of attempted burglary of the Ganley Construction Company, Minneapolis. Defendant appeals from the judgment of conviction and alleges that the circumstances proved do not exclude every rational hypothesis except that of guilt.

Examination of the record discloses no basis for this court to disturb the jury's verdict. State v. Norgaard, 272 Minn. 48, 52, 136 N.W.2d 628, 631 (1965); State v. Markuson, 261 Minn. 515, 517, 113 N.W.2d 346, 348 (1962).

Affirmed.
