Judge Charles o. Busick. today denied

day. Alleged intimidation by prose-

fessed to the Staying of City Marshal
! ]. Y. REEVES of Redding and was sem
fenced to be hanged at San quentin
penitentiary. March 25.
| Immediate notice of an appeal 10
the state supreme court was given by
Attorney Martin Welch OF counsel for
the defendant.
The court attacked the veracity of
affidavits presented by Norris and by
Gerald Callahan and George Dewey
Davis that Norris had been intimidatel
into making the confession.
There is no evidence" said the
court, that the defendant was offered
any reward or that he was threatened
or intimidated."
Dealing with the question of whether
Norris had been deprived of any OF
his legal and constitutional rights, the
court found that the defendant was
accorded every right that the law pro-
vides.
A feature of today's hearing was the
introduction by the prosecution of an
affidavit sworn to by l.. c. Smith, de-
putty district attorney, denying allega-
tions made in affidavits that he had
stated he regretted that he had
"shamefully treated Norris to obtain
his confession.

that deputy District Attorney Smith

into making his confession, were to

were arrested last night.
