Appellant was convicted in the district court of Wise county of abstracting funds from a bank, and his punishment fixed at five years in the penitentiary.

The-record contains no bills of exception. Two special charges were asked and refused. One was covered by the main charge, and the other presents the only question to which we wall devote any discussion. Same Sought to have the jury instructed to acquit upon the ground that there was a variance between the allegation and the proof, in that the indictment charged that the money was abstracted from the Park Springs bank without the consent of the directors of the bank, and that the proof showed that appellant was a director, and there was no proof of want of his consent to such abstraction.

Five men constituted the directors of said ■bank, one of whom was appellant. He was also cashier at the time of the alleged commission of the offense, and on that date disappeared from his home, and it was discovered that the time lock of the safe in the bank had been set to open three ’days later, at which time same was opened, and a check of the assets of the bank disclosed that a large sum of money was missing. A woman was used as a witness by the state who testified that She left Park Springs, by agreement with appellant, and met him in Kansas City, and they went around over the United States and Canada together for some time after that, and that during the time they were together appellant told her that he had taken $2,700 of the bank’s money. We attach--no importance to'appellant’s contention that it was necessary to prove his own consent to the abstraction of the bank’s money in order to make out a case of guilt. The bank was a corporation, and each of the other four directors testified that the board of directors as such had given appellant no consent to abstract the funds of the bank, and that each of them as individuals gave no such consent. This sufficiently showed such abstraction as to violate the law. United States v. Harper (C. C.) 33 Fed. 484; Breese v. United States, 106 Fed. 685, 45 C. C. A. 535.

No error appearing in the record, the judgment will be affirmed.
