PEOPLE v. HALL (1934)

Supreme Court of California.

PEOPLE v. HALL.

Cr. 3652.

Decided: March 29, 1934

S. Luke Howe and O. F. Meldon, both of Sacramento, and William V. Cowan, of Yreka, for appellant. U. S. Webb, Atty. Gen. and J. Charles Jones, Deputy Atty. Gen., for the People.

The petition of the appellant for a rehearing in this cause is denied.

Due consideration has been given to the renewed contention of the appellant that when, at the time of the arraignment of the defendant, he remained mute, the court below should have directed the clerk to enter a plea of ‘not guilty by reason of insanity,’ as well as the plea of ‘not guilty’ which was entered.
