Aguilar v. State

31 S.W.2d 1113

Opinion

HAWKINS, J.

At the April term, 1930, of the district court for Reeves county, appellant was convicted of murder, and punishment assessed at death. He appealed from this jail to the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas. It is now made known to us that pending said appeal appellant escaped from the jail of said Reeves county, and is still at large.'

Under the provision of article 824, C. O. P. 1925, said escape pending appeal ousted this court of jurisdiction.

The appeal is dismissed.
