Opinion

[1] Upon the hearing of the application for a writ of habeascorpus in the above-entitled matter we are satisfied that the writ should issue upon the authority of the opinion of the district court of the third appellate district in the Matter ofthe Application of Colford, ante, p. 308 [229 P. 63]; and that the defendant Rex Evans, in whose behalf said petition was filed, should be returned to the superior court of the county of Butte and tried anew.

It is therefore ordered that the warden of the state prison at San Quentin deliver Rex Evans into the custody of the sheriff of the county of Butte for the purpose of a new trial.

It is further ordered that the clerk of this court forward a copy of this order to the clerk of the district court of appeal of the state of California, third appellate district.

All the Justices concurred.
