*648Appellant was sentenced to death following his conviction of first degree murder, and, on August 14, 1953, this court affirmed the judgment and the order denying a new trial. (People v. Rupp, 41 Cal.2d 371 [260 P.2d 1].) On November 17, 1954, and February 1, 1955, respectively, we denied his petitions for a writ of habeas corpus and for a stay of execution pending an appeal in that proceeding to the United States Supreme Court. That court denied certiorari on March 28, 1955.…
