The opinion

ON PETITION FOR REHEARING

BY THE COURT.

Petition for rehearing having been filed by appellant, and petition for stay of execution having also been filed by appellant, with a request that, in the event a rehearing is denied, then and in that event a stay of execution be granted for sufficient time for appellant to petition the United States Supreme Court, in forma pauperis, to grant a writ of certiorari; such petitions having been duly considered; and it having been determined that the petition for rehearing is without merit in that the points raised were carefully and fully considered by the court in the disposition heretofore made; but that appellant’s request for stay of execution should be granted:

It is ordered that the petition for rehearing be and the same is hereby denied.

It is further ordered, however, that appellant, Jess Alcala, be and he is hereby granted a stay of execution for a period of six months from the date hereof, or until the United States Supreme Court has acted unfavorably in regard to appellant’s petition for writ of certiorari, in the event of such action before six months from the date hereof, conditioned upon appellant’s appearance bond in the amount of $15,000 being kept in full force and effect throughout such stay of execution.

GRAY, J., dissented in the original opinion and would grant the petition for rehearing.
