Opinion
Criminal No. 664.
Filed March 19, 1928.
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of the County of Mohave. E. Elmo Bollinger, Judge. Affirmed.
Mr. L.L. Wallace and Messrs. Struckmeyer, Jennings Strouss, for Appellant.
Mr. John W. Murphy, Attorney General, Mr. Frank J. Duffy, Assistant Attorney General, and Mr. J. Hubert Smith, County Attorney (Mr. W.E. Patterson and Mr. J.J. Sweeney, of Counsel), for the State.
Defendant, Shew Chin, was informed against for the crime of murder jointly with B.W.L. Sam, Gee Long, Jew Har and Wong Lung, but was tried separately, and the jury returned a verdict of murder in the first degree, fixing the death penalty. He has appealed from the verdict and the judgment rendered thereon. The record is practically the same as that in the case of B.W.L. Sam v. State, No. 663, ante, p. 383, 265 P. 609, and it was stipulated by counsel that the cases should be briefed, argued and considered by the court together. For the reasons stated in the Sam case, supra, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
