Thompson v. State

1912 OK CR 413, 127 P. 872, 8 Okla. Crim. 393, 1912 Okla. Crim. App. LEXIS 415

Opinion

FURMAN, P. J.

On the 7th day of October, 1911, judg-’ ment was rendered in the county court of Osage county against appellant for a violation of the prohibitory liquor law, and his punishment was assessed at a fine of $100 and 30 days’ confinement in the county jail, from which judgment the appellant prosecuted and perfected an appeal.

It has been made to appear to the satisfaction of this court that since perfecting this appeal, appellant has fled beyond the bounds of this state, and is now not within the jurisdiction of this court, but is a fugitive from justice, so that any judgment rendei'ed by the court could not be enforced against him. Under the repeated decisioxrs of this court, such flight constitutes an abandonment of the appeal, and the appeal is therefore dismissed.
