The men are Mariana Casarez and
Alvino Mendez, who were convicted
of the murder of Mike Fornasero at
Meloland last January. The men
were sentenced to be hanged last
June, but an appeal to the supreme
court, which has not yet been de
cided, has acted as stay of execu
tion.
Others in San Quentin whose exc
cutlons have been held up by ap-
peals are William Bringhurst, Viii
lard Thompson, Isaac Wolfgang and
Clarence Reid of Los Angeles and j.
V. Hendrick of San Diego.
