No. 4784

406 P.2d 918 (1965)

Sewell Carlton THURLOW, Jr., Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.

Supreme Court of Nevada

October 27, 1965


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mendoza, Foley & Garner, of Las Vegas, for Appellant.

Harvey Dickerson, Attorney General, Carson City; William P. Beko, District Attorney, Tonopah, for Respondent.


THOMPSON, Justice.

Thurlow was convicted of murder, after a jury trial in the district court at Tonopah, Nevada.
