From the judgment an appeal was taken by filing in this court on April 23, 1923, a petition in error with case-made.
Pending the determination of said appeals, counsel of record for plaintiff in error filed motions to dismiss these appeals, for the reason that on the 11th day of June, 1923, paroles were granted the plaintiff in error in each of the above entitled and numbered causes by the Governor, and the same were accepted by plaintiff in error.
Where a plaintiff in error accepts a parole pending the determination of his appeal, he thereby waives the right to have his appeal determined, and when notice of this fact is brought to the attention of this court, the appeal will be dismissed. It is therefore adjudged and ordered that the appeals of plaintiff in error, Pearl Hicks, in these two cases be and the same are hereby dismissed, and the causes remanded to the district court of Beckham county.
