PER CURIAM.

Wrightson appeals his conviction for armed robbery. This is the second-time the case has been here. The first time' we directed a new trial, [1] because the[*673] Government failed to present evidence as to probable cause for the arrest without a warrant and for the ensuing search and seizure, although appellant challenged the legality of the arrest and the search. The arrest was made at Wright-son’s apartment at about five-thirty in the morning some twelve days after the robbery which was the basis of the indictment. Upon the second trial Wright-son was again convicted. At this trial a police officer testified that he had been investigating the robbery for some days and that at two-thirty on the morning of the arrest an informer whom he knew, and in whom he had confidence, gave him the name and address of one of the alleged robbers (Wrightson) and told him that Wrightson was preparing to leave town. This was probable cause to make the arrest and was sufficient justification for making it without waiting until the time when a warrant could be procured.

We find no other error affecting substantial rights of the appellant.

Affirmed.
