““(1) ‘Roy Jones . . . Can’t see you. They won’t let me. Please don’t testify against me.’ (2) ‘Ask if you can receive any books or magazines. Anything you wish will be sent. . . . Regardless of what the law does or tries to do it cannot break down those sincere friendships of which there are so few. One who does not stick by his friend in time of trouble is not worthy of the name. Just remember that. . . . When and if you are released and you wish to make a trip and are allowed to, a ticket will be provided by the company, to any point in the U. S. you wish to go. So don’t worry about your condition when you get out. ... A new and different venture will be invested in soon and part or all of the profits will be yours, so that you will be self maintaining when you are free.’ (3) ‘It won’t be so very long now and probably you will be out.

1 later decision quote this exact passage““. . . The rule as to what extent corroboration is necessary to connect or tend to connect a defendant with the commission of a crime appears in the ease of People v. Negra, 208 Cal. 64, 69 [ 280 P. 354 ], where the court states: ‘The evidence tending to connect a defendant with the commission of the crime may be slight and, when standing by itself, entitled to but little consideration. . . . The law does not require that the evidence necessary to corroborate the testimony of an accomplice shall tend to establish the precise facts testified to by the accomplice ; and strong corroborative testimony is not necessary to support a judgment of conviction founded on the testimony of an accomplice. Even though circumstantial and slight, the evidence is, nevertheless, sufficient if it tends to connect the accused with the commission of the offense. ’ ””
