Ross, J.

Defendants were convicted of robbery with  homicide and sentenced to life imprisonment.  The application of the mitigating circumstance of race, considering the ignorance of the defendants, was correct.  (U. S. vs. Santa Maria, 4 Phil. Rep., 635; U.S. vs. Sison, 6 Phil. Rep., 31.) Judgment affirmed.
