Denied.
No opinion was rendered in denying original petition.
John Lapique, in pro. per., for Petitioner.
[1] Any question of insufficiency of evidence to warrant an indictment is not a proper subject of inquiry on habeas corpus (In re Kennedy, 144 Cal. 634 , [ 103 Am. St. Rep. 117 , 1 Ann. Cas. 840, 67 L. R. A. 406 , 78 Pac. 34 ]).
In so far as appears, the sufficiency of the indictment in this matter cannot be examined into on habeas corpus (In re Ruef, 150 Cal. 665 , [ 89 Pac. 605 ]).
The application for a rehearing is denied.
Angellotti, C. J., Lawlor, J., Wilbur, J., and Olney, J., concurred.
