Opinion

Crim. No. 2172. In Bank.

September 13, 1918.

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Sacramento County. Malcolm C. Glenn, Judge.

The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.

George E. Foote, for Appellant.

U.S. Webb, Attorney-General, and J. Charles Jones, Deputy Attorney — General, for Respondent.


An indictment was found against defendant, under the name of Jesse Negrete, by the grand jury of Sacramento County, for the crime of murder, in the unlawful killing of one M. Castellano. A trial was had, resulting in a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, without recommendation. We have here an appeal from the judgment pronounced upon such conviction.

No brief has been filed or oral argument made on behalf of the appellant on this appeal. The matter has been submitted on the record. In view of the fact that this is a capital case, we have carefully examined the record for the purpose of ascertaining whether there was any substantial error in the proceedings in the superior court. We find that the evidence abundantly supports the verdict, and that the proceedings in the trial court were in all respects fair and in full conformity to the law. Nothing appears therein as to which any claim of substantial error could well be made.

The judgment is affirmed.

Shaw, J., Wilbur, J., Sloss, J., Lorigan, J., Melvin, J., and Richards, J., pro tem., concurred.
