Criminal Law—Murder—Challenge op Juror—Conscientious Opinion Relative to Capital Punishment.—The judgment and order denying a new trial are affirmed upon the authority of People v. Rollins, ante, p. 793
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Tuolumne County, and from an order denying a new trial. , G. W. Nicol, Judge. Affirmed.
The record and the points made for reversal are the same as those made in the case of People v. Rollins, ante, p. 793, [ 179 Pac. 209 ].
J. T. B. Warne, for Appellant.
U. S. Webb, Attorney-General, and J. Charles Jones, Deputy Attorney-General, for Respondent.

This is an appeal by defendant from a judgment pronounced on a conviction of murder in the first degree, and from an order denying his motion for a new trial.

The record is in all material respects the same as that in People v. Rollins, ante, p. 793, [ 179 Pac. 209 ], The defendant and said Rollins were jointly engaged in the robbery of one Allen, and in the perpetration of that robbery killed Allen. The points made for reversal are the same as those made in that ease. For the reasons stated in the opinion therein those points must be held to be without merit. Examination of the record discloses no ground for reversal.

, The judgment and order denying a new trial are affirmed.

Melvin, J., Shaw, J., Sloss, J., Wilbur, J., Lawlor, J., Lennon, J., and Angellotti, C. J., concurred.
