[Crim. No. 3819.

June 21, 1944.]
THE PEOPLE, Respondent, v. JEAN SIMPSON, Appellant.
John S. Cooper for Appellant.
Robert W. Kenny, Attorney General, and Prank Richards, Deputy Attorney General, for Respondent.

Opinion:
THE COURT.
—Defendant and appellant has made appli-
cation for a stay of execution of a judgment of conviction pending the determination of her appeal following the refusal of the trial court to order a stay of execution pending the appeal pursuant to section 1243 of the Penal Code.
We have examined the record on appeal and have concluded that the grounds urged for a reversal of the judgment present debatable questions meriting extended consideration by the court and that the appeal has been taken in good faith and is not frivolous. Under these circumstances, a stay of execution should be and is granted pending the final determination of the case on appeal. (People v. Burnette (1939), 34 Cal.App.2d 663 [94 P.2d 399]; In re Albori (1928), 95 Cal.App. 42 [272 P. 321] ; People v. Biescar (1928), 95 Cal.
