Foster Shroyer, Bear Valley, abdominal. Court's Opinion Continued From Pago On she had joined with Kieselfskle in plotting the crime, had taken a hammer with her to bed and as her husband was sleeping struck him over the head with a hammer; that when the blows did not prove of sufficient power to render the man unconscious and as he arose and was putting on his trousers she took the hammer in both hands and wielded it with all strength; of how she had assisted in dragging Stankavage to the edge of the bed to permit Kieselfskie to assist in pounding him to death. Citing the law as upheld by the state supreme court, that where two persons join in vicious assault, both are equally guilty of the consequences. The woman's latest averrment that she did not strike any of the fatal blows is merely a post-trial statement in an effort to save herself and docs not bear out her previous confession and statements. There is no new testimony of merit in the application for a new trial and the court holds that there is no after-discovered evidence as the law requires.

Everything presented in the application for a new trial was known to Mrs. Stankavage at the time of her trial and cannot be considered in the light of after-discovered evidence. The court accordingly refused a new trial and the woman's fate now rests with the state board of pardons.

"We cannot follow the 'gic that because a law Is unpopular It should be repealed," the senator declared. "I also doubt that Its repeal will aid youth. The question of religious worship should be left entirely up to the Individual.

I base my ntire objection on the making of money on Sunday." MORE TREMORS IN LOS ANGELES AREA LOS ANGELES, Mar. 14.
