the admission of a payment to a government official was accepted as true but Opper's statement that this payment was only a loan was not required to be accepted. So, here, the trial judge could consistently find that, on or about June 1, Wong Sun had, at the least, transported heroin from his source "Bill", and that Toy had, at the least, possessed in Yee's house heroin, the transportation of which he had aided. This much of the confessions was sufficient proof of guilt, and (as we have pointed out) the confessions were adequately corroborated by the introduction in evidence of the 27 grams of heroin, and by the testimony of the officers and of Yee.
