legal to inflict the penalty IN any other.

secure them. One was his wife, now in
Denver; another, Charles F.. Martin, Of
Sacramento, who could testify that the
Mexican gold piece found in the defend
ants possession, and supposed to have been
stolen from one OF the rooms burglarized,
was owned aud possessed by defendant

in Casey's company on the night of the
