Description
WASTE, C.J. This cause was taken over after decision in the District Court of Appeal of the Second Appellate District, Division Two, in order that we might more fully examine the record and certain issues raised upon the appeal. An examination of the evidence, covering 1742 pages of the reporters transcript, compels us to agree with the conclusion of the Appellate Court that as to the appellants Beggs, Ross and St. John there is a dearth of corroborating evidence within the meaning of section 1111 of the Penal Code as interpreted in People v. Kempley, 205 Cal. 441 [271 Pac. 478], and People v. Davis, 210 Cal. 540 [293 Pac. 32]. However, we cannot accept the conclusion announced by that court with reference to the contention of the appellant Byrne directed against count VII of the indictment. This point will be discussed later.
