Fifer v. State

31 S.W.2d 1114, 1930 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1068

Opinion

HAWKINS, J.

At the March term, 1930, of the district court of Kerr county, appellant was convicted of murder, and his punishment assessed at 25 years in the penitentiary. From this judgment appellant gave notice of appeal. It is now made known to us by proper affidavit of the sheriff that pending the appeal appellant escaped from the jail of said county and is still at large. Under the provisions of article 824, C. C. P., the escape removes jurisdiction from this court.

The appeal is dismissed.
