Description
The appellant, Louise Clark, was indicted jointly with the other defendants, under section 182 of the Penal Code, for conspiracy in Sacramento County, in June, 1945, "to procure one Nina Ezelle, a female, for a house of prostitution." A second count of the indictment charged them with an attempt to commit the crime of pandering contrary to the provisions of the Statutes of 1911, page 9 (1 Deering's Gen. Laws, p. 855, Act 1906) by causing, inducing, persuading and encouraging Nina Ezelle "to become an inmate of a house of prostitution." The codefendant, Manuel Strite, was not apprehended or tried. The remaining defendants were jointly tried and convicted on both counts. The appellant, Clark, moved to set aside the indictment for lack of evidence of probable cause. That motion was denied. A jury found all defendants, except Manuel Strite, guilty of both counts of the indictment. Louise Clark moved for a new trial, which was denied as to the first count and granted as to the second count. She appealed from the order denying a new trial on the first count, and from the judgment of conviction of conspiracy as alleged in that count. The State of California appealed from the order granting a new trial as to the second count for an attempt to commit the crime of pandering. The other defendants have not appealed.
